The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a man, identified simply as
Julius, for allegedly raping a seven-year-old girl (names withheld),
damaging her private parts and distorting her urination. 29-year-old
Julius, who lived in a rented apartment on Obafalabi Street, Ojodu
Berger area of Lagos, allegedly tricked the little girl into his room on
the night of Saturday, July 26, and had illegal carnal knowledge of
her.
Our correspondent gathered that the victim, a primary one pupil, was the
daughter of Julius’s co-tenant. It was further learnt that Julius, who
hails from Benin, Edo State, was not married and lived in the apartment
with his mother.
On the fateful evening, the victim’s family, who were Muslims, had gone
for prayer in a mosque and expected the child to come with them, but
could not find her. However, when the family returned, the girl was said
to have sneaked out of the suspect’s room, with obvious signs of pain.
Upon interrogation by her parents, the girl was said to have confessed
that she was coming from Julius’s room, where he allegedly asked her to
remove her pants, while he climbed on her and raped her. After the
confession, the parents reported the incident at the Ojodu Abiodun
Division and Julius was arrested.
When our correspondent visited Julius’s apartment on Tuesday morning,
the victim’s mother, a northerner who hails from Kebbi State, said that
the girl could not urinate properly after the incident, adding that she
was being treated at a private hospital.
She said, “On that evening, when we came back from the mosque, she could
not bend down properly. I asked her where she went and she initially
lied, but later said she had been in his room. “She said the man asked
her to remove her pants, and he put his organ into her, stating that he
was just playing with her. I then asked her to repeat the same to her
daddy when he came back. But in the morning when we confronted Julius,
he denied it. Then we called our family nurse, who came, tested her, and
confirmed that she had been raped.
“That same day, we took her to a private hospital where the doctor also
confirmed that she had been raped the day before, and on several
occasions. So, we reported at the police station. From that day, I
observed she could not hold her urine.“A girl who had stopped bedwetting
suddenly began to urinate during sleep. The medical personnel said
there was a damage to her private parts that needed to be treated. That
was how she resumed treatment at the hospital.”When our correspondent
got to the hospital where the victim was being treated, her medical
report, which was signed by a doctor, identified simply as Dr. Sanni,
stated among other things that there was a breach of hymen and the
absence of labia minora.
One of the nurses, who craved anonymity, said the girl had been coming
for treatment for about two weeks. At the rented apartment, Julius’s
room was locked, while his mother staying with him could not be reached
for comments as of the time of this report. She could not be reached on
the phone number supplied by the co-tenants.
The Lagos State Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Lelma Kolle,
confirmed the arrest of the suspect, and added that the case, because of
its severity, had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation
Department, Yaba. He said, “The suspect was arrested by the Ojodu
Abiodun Police Division in connection with the rape of a seven-year-old
girl who had some wounds on her and could not urinate properly.
“But the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation
Department, Yaba for further investigation. The suspect is presently
being detained at the SCID.”
