The police in Lagos have arrested a 34-year-old man, Kehinde Frederick, for allegedly defiling his neighbour’s daughter in the Ikorodu area of the state.
IgbereTV gathered that the victim’s mother had left the one-year-old child and her two siblings, aged 11 and 12, at home while she went to a farm on Wednesday.
Frederick entered their room when the woman was away, and asked the siblings to close their eyes while he inserted his finger into the little girl’s private parts.
The mother of the child returned home and met her crying. Upon enquiry, the victim’s elder sisters reportedly told her that Fredrick molested their sister.
The mother was said to have reported the case to the police and Frederick was arrested.
“I went to the farm on Wednesday and left my one-year-old girl with her sisters to play with them. On returning home, I met her crying and asked her two elder sisters what happened. They told me it was my neighbour, Mr Frederick who came to our apartment. He asked them to close their eyes and molested their little sister with his finger,” she told the police.
IgbereTV learnt that the girl had been taken to the community health centre for treatment.
