The Edo State Commissioner
of Police, Chris Ezike, ordered the arrest of the sergeant, following a report
from the girl’s mother that the policeman, who was her neighbour, allegedly
lured her daughter, a primary four pupil, and raped her in his apartment.
Officers of Edo State
Police Command are investigating a sergeant, Umoru Babalola, who allegedly
raped a nine-old-girl (names withheld).
She said: “I came home and
was told that Sergeant Umoru sent my daughter to buy him recharge card.
“I waited for her to come
back, but she did not. I decided to look for her in his apartment. I knocked
but nobody answered. I asked after him from his son and he said his father was
inside.
“I peeped through the
window and I saw him naked with my daughter crying.
“I started shouting and
banging on the door. Other neighbours came out and we forced him to open the
door. I took my daughter to the hospital where it was confirmed she was raped.
Umoru had threatened to kill her if she told anybody.
“I reported to the police
and another test was conducted in a specialist hospital, where it was also
confirmed that my daughter was raped.”
Confirming the report, Edo
State Police Commissioner Chris Ezike, said: “The case is being handled at the
Family Unit. I have ordered that a test be conducted on the girl and we are
waiting for the result.
