Labourer Arrested For Raping 5- Year-Old Girl While Mum Slept
A bricklayer , Achibong Koko, has
been arrested by operatives of
the Lagos State Police Command
for allegedly defiling a five-year-
old girl.
During a press briefing on
Wednesday, the state
Commissioner of Police, Edgal
Imohimi, said
, “Information was received by the
Divisional Police Officer, Onireke
division, that a five-year-old girl
had been defiled. A team of
detectives was mobilised to the
area, where the suspect, Achibong
Koko, was arrested.
“According to the mother of the
victim, the daughter left her room
while she was asleep.“The victim
was taken to a hospital where a
doctor carried out an examination.
The examination report revealed
that the hymen of the victim had
been ruptured as a result of the
defilement.”
Koko, an indigene of Akwa-Ibom
State, denied the allegation.
He said,
“I did not do anything to the girl. I
did not even see the girl that
afternoon. I was sleeping in my
neighbour’s house around 3pm
when I heard a noise outside. My
friend told me that people were
looking for us outside.
“They said the small girl had been
defiled and that when they asked
her who did it, she pointed at my
room.
“The girl pointed at me at home
and in the station that I did it; I
don’t know why. Maybe because
we stay in the same compound.”
The mother of the victim, Umoru
Hajara, alleged that the suspect
took her daughter from her side.
She said,
“I never knew she was no longer
beside me. My aunt, who
observed the way my daughter
was walking, woke me up. When I
saw her as well, I was forced to
check her. I pulled down her pants
and saw sperms on her body. I
asked her who did it and she
pointed to a particular room. When
we got there, we didn’t meet
anyone.
“I went to report to the leader of
my area, Alhaji Bello. But unknown
to us, the suspect was in his
friend’s room. Both of them were
called out, and they asked my
daughter who violated her. She
pointed at him.”
