The police in Lagos State have arrested a 30yrs old man, David Daniel, for allegedly r*ping his co-tenant’s daughter, Kafayat (real names withheld), in his room.
It was learnt that the suspect and the nine-year-old victim lived on Ogunjimi Street, Moricas, Agege.
It was gathered that her mother had noticed that the minor’s private parts were swollen but thought she had an infection.
She was said to have warned her not to play at secluded places in the compound.
While Kafayat and her friends were playing outside around 7pm last Wednesday, Daniel lured her into his room again, where he reportedly r*ped her.
A three-year-old girl allegedly saw him luring Kafayat into his room and went to report to her mother, who in turn informed the victim’s parents.
Daniel was said to have pushed Kafayat out of his room when he noticed that her mother was approaching his apartment.
Unfortunately, spe-rm was found in her private parts while her pants were wet.
The girl was taken to the Mirabel Centre for tests, where it was revealed that she had been defiled.
The mother thereafter reported the matter at the police station and David was arrested.
He was subsequently arraigned by a police prosecutor, Inspector Benedict Aigbokhan, on one count of r*pe on Friday before an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ogba.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The presiding magistrate, Mr. T.A. Elias, ordered that he be remanded in prison custody and adjourned the case till March 16, 2016, for trial.
