The incident happened on April 16 at about 10am after the victim’s mother left her in a room with a neighbour to buy food at a nearby shop. The sixteen year-old Ganiyu abducted the girl when she walked outside to play with other children.
He reportedly took her to
an uncompleted building, said to be a few kilometres away from the victim
parents’ house, and raped her. Precious’ mother and neighbours were thrown into
confusion when they did not see the girl in the surroundings.
After minutes of fruitless
search, it was learnt that the mother suddenly heard a baby screaming and
traced the voice to the uncompleted building, where she allegedly met Ganiyu
committing the crime.
Precious was said to have
been taken to a hospital where it was medically confirmed that she had been
raped.
Punch learnt that the
suspect, who also resides in the community, was later arrested by the police at
the Ijora Badia Police Division.
The police subsequently
arraigned Ganiyu before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court on one count of rape.
