New Telegraph reports that Ekaka, a resident of the Alimisho area, a suburb of state, lured the young victim into his room under the pretense of sending her on an errand but instead forcefully defiled her.
The police prosecutor who arraigned the suspect, Inspector Simeon Inuoha, told the court that Ekaka committed the offence on January 9, 2017, inside his room at the rented apartment he shares with the parents of the girl.
“After luring the girl into his room on the pretense of sending her on an errand, the accused shut the door and forcefully raped her. It was the cry of the girl that attracted the neighbour to the scene and the accused was arrested,” Inspector Inuoha said, adding that the offence contravened Section 259 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
