Policemen
at Makinde Division in Lagos, have arrested three men who allegedly raped a
13-year-old girl, last August in Mafoluku area of Oshodi.
The
victim, a Junior Secondary School student (names withheld), was reportedly
invited into one of the suspects apartment at 19, Majaro Street, Mafoluku.
Report
said when she got inside, the owner of the apartment Emenuwa Achonam, a married
man with five children, whose family was away, had carnal knowledge of her,
alongside his two friends, Godwin Udoh, 22, and Emenike Orji, 20,
She
was, thereafter, instructed not to tell anyone and also threatened to
kill her if she did.
But
the bubble burst after the teenager fell ill and was taken to the
hospital only to be confirmed that she was pregnant, a development that
reportedly threw her parents off balance.
The
teenager, who was apparently oblivious of her present state, told policemen
that “brother Achonam called me to buy drinks for his visitors. But when I got
inside to collect the money, he asked me to pull my clothes and
they started dipping their hands inside my womanhood before they had
carnal knowledge of me. At the end they said they would kill me if I tell my
parents or anyone about it.
The
prime suspect, Achonam, admitted to having committed the crime, blaming
it on the handiwork of the devil. He disclosed that his wife travelled to
the village to nurse their fifth child. On the part of his alleged partners in
crime, they claimed they acted on Achonam’s instruction.
The
case, was charged to Oshodi Magistrate court, from where it was transferred to
the Ikeja family court.
