On April 16, a 16-year-old boy, Azeez Ganiyu, abducted and raped a 2-year-old
toddler at Ijora Badia, Lagos State. 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.
Ganiyu abducted the girl when she walked outside to play with
other children, took her to an uncompleted building, said to be a few
kilometers away from the victim parents’ house, and raped her.
After a long search with neighbours, the mother suddenly
heard a baby screaming and traced the voice to the uncompleted building, where
she allegedly met Ganiyu committing the crime. She was said to have been taken
to a hospital where it was medically confirmed that she had been raped.
The suspect was arrested by the police at the Ijora Badia
Police Division, and was before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court on one count of
rape. The case was adjourned till May 5, 2015.
