For his inability to put a hold to his sexual libido, a 20-year-old man, Godswill David, a native of Akwa Ibom State, has found himself in hot water after he was arrested for raping a 10-year-old primary 3 pupil in the Ikota Housing Estate, Lagos State. The victim, according to Punch Newspaper, lived with her parents in the same house with David, which is owned by the girl's father, and he took advantage of being close to the family to perpetrate the crime.
It was gathered that David had sent the victim to fetch him a sachet of detergent and while she was searching for the detergent, the suspect followed her into the room and forcibly undressed and raped her.
While the act was on, the victim screamed for help, and the suspect’s stepmother rushed into the room and allegedly met David on top of the little girl, though she turned and locked the door without raising an alarm.
David allegedly threatened the victim that she would die if she told anyone what transpired between them.
Not satisfied with the rape, David tried to assault the girl again the next day when he found her sleeping ans she was said to have ran out and reported her ordeal to an aunt, who in turn narrated the incident to her parents.
The matter was reported at the police station, leading to David’s arrest. A police source reported that the girl was taken to a hospital where she went through some medical tests and the result showed that the hymen was no longer intact.
The matter was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, from where the suspect was arraigned on one count of unlawful defilement.
He was arraigned on before an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrate’s Court.
