CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A lady, one Nwakaego Ugochukwu, has landed in trouble in Lagos after she allegedly assaulted a 12-year old girl by inserting her finger into her private part in order to derive sexual satisfaction.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Carnal Estate in Ago Okota area of Lagos.

It was gathered that the suspect lured the girl into an apartment, fondled her breasts, later pulled her pant and penetrated her private part with her finger.
She later allowed the girl to go after she had satisfied herself. The victim went and told her parents about what had happened.
The matter was reported to the police; she was arrested and detained at the police station for interrogation.
P.M.EXPRESS scooped that during interrogation she admitted that she did so. The police found her culpable and charged her before the Ogba Magistrates Court for sexual assault to wit rape.
The prosecutor, Inspector Edet Ekedun, told the court that it was a case of rape and the court should order that the matter be referred to the DPP for advice.
Thus, the Presiding Magistrate, Mr. K.O. Osundare, ordered the defendant, Nwakaego, to be remanded in prison custody without an option of bail.
The Court also directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send to the DPP for advice.
P.M.EXPRESS gathered that her case may be transferred to the High Court if the DPP finds her culpable over the rape charge.
If she is tried and found guilty, she may spend several years in prison for the alleged rape despite the fact that they were of the same gender.
