On Wednesday,an okada rider identified simply as Daniel in Otukpo, Benue
State was arrested, after he allegedly raped an eight-year-old girl in
his room on Ogiri Okoh Street, to a point where the girl became
unconscious.
It was learnt that after the girl became unconscious, the suspect poured
water on her to resuscitate her, after which he sent her home.
According to Punch, a resident of the street on which the victim’s
mother lived, said the girl explained that Daniel forced himself on her
after he had told her to help him buy food.
The resident said the mother became suspicious when the girl came back
home, walking with her legs apart.The victim’s mother was said to have
raised the alarm, after the girl said Daniel inserted his manhood in her
and did not know anything again.
“She said by the time she woke up in his room, he saw the man pouring water on her,” the resident told Saturday PUNCH.
After vigilantes in the area were reportedly alerted, they went in
search of Daniel and arrested him a few hours later.The suspect,said
even though he had tried to rape the girl, he left her alone because he
could not penetrate her.
“Because my manhood was too big for her, I could not penetrate and had
to leave her alone,” he told the vigilantes.He however denied raping the
girl to the point of coma.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Moses Yamu,
confirmed the incident, stating that the victim was now in police
custody.
