I Just Wanted To See It – Says Boy, 17, Caught Putting Finger Into Girl, 3, Private Part

CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A 17-year old boy, who was arrested in Lagos State for opening the private part of a 3-year old girl and inserting his finger into it, has told the Police that he just wanted to see the inside of the private part and that was why he checked it.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the boy stated that he had not seen and had been imagining how a woman’s private part looks like and so decided to check the little girl’s own and he was caught.

The incident happened at Ahmadu Bello Road, Railway Compound, Ebute Metta area of Lagos, where they reside. 

He denied that he wanted to penetrate the girl and claimed that he was merely checking to find out how it looks like.

The Police alleged the boy to have lured the girl, removed her pant and inserted his finger into her private part before he was caught and handed over to the Police in the area.

His action has landed him in trouble as he has been charged for indecent assault on the girl before the Ebute Metta Magistrates Court for inserting his finger into her private part.

When he was arraigned, he pleaded not guilty. 

The prosecutor, Mr. Olatunde Kehinde, asked the Court to give a date for hearing to enable the Police to prove that he actually committed the alleged offence.

The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. O.O. Ekundayo, granted him bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.

He was remanded in the juvenile home pending when he will perfect his bail conditions while the matter was adjourned to 4th March, 2022, for mention.

The names of the girl and alleged molester were withheld because they are minors in line with the policy of P.M.EXPRESS to protect the identity of minors.
