A trader at a market on 23 Road, FESTAC
Town, Lagos, Ikechukwu Alu, has been arrested by the police for the
alleged abduction and rape of a seven-year-old girl, Victoria.
It was learnt that the victim had been
sent on an errand to buy a voucher (recharge card), but she misplaced
it while returning home.
On getting home, she was reportedly
chased out to look for the recharge card during which the 25-year-old
suspect abducted her on Adeola Street in Amuwo Odofin, where she lives,
and took her to a shop in a nearby market.
Alu reportedly made the girl to pass the night in the shop and allegedly raped her.
PUNCH Metro learnt that as he
left the shop around 5am the following day, some residents around the
area saw him, with Victoria strapped to his back.
The residents, who are aware Alu does not have a child, reportedly queried him on how he came about the girl.
When he could not give a genuine
explanation, they were said to have poured ashes on him and alerted the
police at the FESTAC division, who picked him up.
Our correspondent learnt that Victoria told the police that the suspect “put his thing (manhood) in my bum-bum” and was subsequently taken to the Mirabel Centre at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.
A test carried out on her at the centre reportedly confirmed that she was raped.
The suspect reportedly told the police that he had met the girl crying on Adeola Street and asked her what was wrong.
“She said her parent sent her to buy a recharge card, but it got missing and as a result she was chased out. I told her to follow me to a place and promised to take her home afterwards. She agreed and that was how I took her to the shop. We only slept together; I didn’t touch her,” he said.
Alu was brought before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court on one count of rape by a police prosecutor, Francisca Job.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge and elected summary trial.
The magistrate, Adegbite, admitted him
to bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum, adding
that the sureties’ residential addresses and evidence of tax payments
made to Lagos State must be verified by the prosecution.
The case was adjourned till August 11, 2016.
