The suspect, Koko
Pat Stephen/
The police in Lagos are building a case against a bricklayer accused of laying a 5-year-old girl in his neighborhood.
The bricklayer, Archibong Koko, allegedly defiled the girl, who strayed while the mother was asleep.
The victim’s mother said she was asleep when the girl left her room.
She didn’t know what had happened until she saw her daughter not walking properly, so she questioned her and the girl talked.
The victim was taken to the hospital where the doctor confirmed that she was violated and her hymen was ruptured.
The suspect however denied the allegation.
He said, “I am a bricklayer. I know the girl and her parents but I did not rape her. She did not come to my room. I am innocent of the allegations.”
Parading the suspects, Lagos State commissioner of police (CP), Imohimi Edgal, said “On 24/06/2018 at about 17:40 hours, information was received by the DPO Onireke Division that a 5-year-old girl has been defiled at Dansa Abule-Oshun.
“A team of detectives were mobilized to the area where the suspect by name Archibong Koko ‘m’ age 35 years was arrested. Case has been transferred to the Gender section for further investigation and prosecution.”
