The duo  were arraigned on a three-count charge of conspiracy, procuring as well as  getting hold of their victim.
The prosecutor, Inspector  Olufemi Eyiaromi, told the court that the two accused persons conspired to commit the offence.
Eyiaromi alleged that Daniel procured and got hold of  the  male student, took him  into a room, laid him on a bed as well as  caressed and orally sucked his manhood until the minor released sperm.
