Father of five ‘defiles’ 18-month-old baby

A 48-year-old bricklayer, Mr. Emmanuel Mahbatie, is now in custody of the police in Lagos for allegedly defiling his neighbour’s 18-month-old baby.
The incident occurred on August 3, at Adebayo Street, Owutu area of Ikorodu, Lagos.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, who paraded the suspect and others before journalists yesterday at command headquarters, Ikeja, said the baby girl went to play with the bricklayer’s children in their apartment when he allegedly inserted his fingers into her private part.
Owoseni said the baby was referred to the Ikorodu General Hospital, where it was confirmed she was violated. Mahbatie, however, denied the accusation. The father of five said he was only playing with the baby and that he could not do such a thing to her.
He said: “The baby always comes into my apartment to play with my children. She was still with my children when suddenly her mother rushed into my apartment that she heard her cry and that was why she came to pick her.https://newtelegraphonline.com/father-five-defiles-18-month-old-baby/
