A 32-year old man, Peter Chukwu, has landed in trouble in Lagos State after he allegedly lured his neighbour’s 7-year old girl and engaged her in sex before he was caught.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Adedeji Street off Afariogun Street, Oshodi area of Lagos, where they reside.
The Police alleged that the suspect, Chukwu, lured the little girl to his apartment, forcefully removed her pants and penetrated her in the process before he was exposed due to injury he inflicted on her private part.
The girl’s parents reported the matter to the Police and he was arrested. He was later transferred to the Gender Section of the Lagos State Command for interrogation over the conduct.
After thorough interrogation, the Police found him culpable and subsequently charged her before the Ogba Magistrates Court for the alleged offence.
When he was arraigned, the Court did not take his plea following a motion moved by the prosecutor, Inspector Lucky Ihiehie, asking the Court to refer the matter to the DPP for advice.
Thus, the Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. O.A. Layinka, ordered his remand in custody at the Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending when the DPP’s report will be ready and directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send it to the DPP for advice.
The matter was adjourned till 13th December, 2022, for the report of the DPP’s advice to be ready, which will determine if the matter will be transferred to the High Court or not over jurisdiction.
