Lagos State Police Command has reportedly arrested a 24-year old man, Daniel Udeme, who allegedly raped an 11-year old girl at Ogbowankwo Lane, Ajegunle area of the state.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that Udeme was arrested after the victim’s parent found out about the alleged rape and reported him to the Police in the area.
During interrogation, Udeme reportedly denied the rape allegations against him and told the police that under aged girls enjoy sex more in the area and it is not seen as rape.
According to him, girls within such age bracket usually have sex without any disturbance in their area which is why the victim never complained that she was rape.
The suspect further noted that the 11-year-old gril consented to the sex before her parents knew about the romp.
However, the Police found Udeme culpable and later charged him before the Ogba Magistrates Court for defiling an underaged girl.
The Court did not take his plea after the prosecutor, Mr. Christopher John, asked the Court to refer the matter to the DPP for advice.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mr. P.E. Nwaka, ordered him to be remanded in prison custody without an option of bail.
The Court also directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send to the DPP for advice. The matter was adjourned till 16th April, 2020.
