A 20-year-old man, Bassey Johnson, has been arrested by
Lagos State Police command for raping a four-year-old girl in the Idimu area of
the state. The man, who is a school-leaver, allegedly raped the girl, when she
and her elder brother went to watch a television in the suspect’s apartment.
The victim’s family and the suspect were said to be
neighbours in the area. On Sunday, around 9am, Fatima and her seven-year-old
brother, Wareed, went to the suspect’s room to watch the TV. While the two were
in Johnson’s apartment, Wareed fell asleep.
The suspect was said to have raped the girl, after the
brother slept.
The matter was said to have been reported at the Idimu
Police Division, and Johnson was arrested. The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual
Violence Response Team had also stepped into the incident.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo
Badmos, confirmed the arrest, adding that the case had been transferred to the
State Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department, Yaba.
