A 50-year-old man, Kelvin Ezeigbo has been apprehended
by the police for reportedly r@ping a 10-year-old pupil,
Esther, by the roadside in Oke-Ira, Ogba, Lagos.
It was learnt that Esther and Ezeigbo were neigbours on
Olatunde Close, where the victim resides with her aunt.
It was gathered that the aunt on April 26 around 9pm sent
Esther on an errand and she was returning home when the
suspect waylaid her.
Ezeigbo, a father of two, had reportedly given the minor
some money and persuaded her to follow him, but she
refused. It was learnt that the suspect resorted to force,
dragging her into a tricycle parked by the roadside.
Ezeigbo reportedly covered her mouth to prevent her from
raising the alarm and r@ped her.
Esther, on getting home, informed her aunt about the
incident, which was reported at the Area G Command,
Ogba.
Ezeigbo, who was said to have denied r@ping the girl, was
arrested and arraigned by a police prosecutor, Inspector
Benedict Aigbokhan, before a magistrate’s court in Ogba on
two counts of rape.
