A man, 32-year-old driver, Muhammadu Alabi, has been arraigned before an
Abule-Egba Magistrate’s Court, Lagos, on a charge of alleged rape of an
eight-year-old daughter of his neighbour.
The accused lives at 34, Emmanuel Aina Street, Aboru, Ipaja, Lagos. He, however, pleaded not guilty.
The
prosecutor, Inspector Racheal Williams, told the court that the offence
was committed at the residence of the defendant on September 3.
According to the prosecution,
"The accused called the child to his room to send her on an errand.
Williams
said the suspect, however, raped the child and that her screaming
attracted neighbours, who then rescued her and reported the incidence to
the police.
The prosecutor said the offence contravened Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
