The police in Lagos have arrested a
78-year-old man, Alhaji Dauda Adebowale, for allegedly raping an
11-year-old girl, Remilekun (pseudonym).
The incident was said to have happened in Pen Cinema, in the Agege area of the state.
Our correspondent learnt that sometime
in June 2015, Remilekun was passing by a shop where the old man, who
hails from Abeokuta, Ogun State, lived when he called to send her on an
errand.
When she returned, he was said to have
dragged her into the shop and raped her, threatening to kill her if she
divulged the act to anyone.
He was said to be living alone in the shop.
PUNCH Metro gathered that Adebowale cashed in on the minor’s fear and thereafter raped her on several occasions.
However, trouble started for the suspect
on Sunday, August 2, when Remilekun, who was reportedly sleeping beside
her mother in the afternoon of the fateful day, suddenly woke up,
shouting ‘penis, penis’ to the amazement of the mother.
The woman, who did not want her name in print, said haggard-looking Remilekun opened up to her after she pestered her.
