According to a report by Vanguard, police in
Lagos State have arrested a 37-year-old man for allegedly raping a
mentally-challenged girl (names withheld).
It was learned that the suspect, Adesola Moses,
who resides at Osenatuilo Street, Alagbado by AIT Road, reportedly raped the
victim in her mother’s shop.
The suspect took advantage of the victim’s
mental health and had anal sex with her.
According to a family member who spoke to
Vanguard, the victim’s mother, Muiynant Mustapha, left her 19-year-old daughter
in her shop to attend a party, when the suspect sneaked into the shop, asked
the girl to remove her clothes and raped her.
The relative said: “While the act was ongoing, a
10-year-old girl, Tunrayo, daughter of the landlord, who usually plays with the
victim, saw them and ran out to alert people.
By the time people got to the shop, the suspect
had escaped.” It was learned that in a bid to identify the suspect, the elders
in the community gathered 12 young men in the area and Tunrayo was able to
identify the suspect, who had changed his clothes to avoid recognition.
The case, which was initially reported at
Alagbado, is currently being investigated at State Criminal Investigation and
Intelligence Department, SCIID, Panti, Lagos.
