A s*x-hungry father of three has landed in hot soup after he was accused of r*ping a 4-year-old neigbour inside the toilet.
A 41-year-old randy man, Adeniyi Adewale, aka Baba Adura, has landed in trouble after he was caught r*ping his neighbour's four-year-old daughter inside a toilet.
The girl identified as Busola (not real name) was r*ped in in Amuwo Odofin in the FESTAC Town area of Lagos State where she resides with her family.
It was gathered that the incident happened on March 16, when Baba Adura barged in on her inside the toilet and loosened his belt before he r*ped her.
In a statement she made to the police, the girl wrote: “I just came back from the school on that day and went to the toilet. Baba Adura entered the toilet, removed his belt and r*ped me. When my sister came back, I told her what Baba Adura did to me.”
According to Punch, a report of medical tests carried out on the minor at the Mirabel Centre, Ikeja, Lagos State University, indicated that she had bruises in her private parts while her hymen was ruptured.
The victim’s mother, Kehinde, after reporting the matter to the chairman of the residents’ association in the area, added that her daughter stood her ground before Baba Adura when he was invited by the chairman.
She said, “I went to plait my hair on that day. I came back around 8pm and my younger sister, who lives with us, told me what my daughter confided in her. I informed my husband on the telephone and he told me to report to the chairman.
“The chairman invited Baba Adura and my daughter told the chairman the same thing. But Baba Adura denied it."
Baba Adura was then arrested by the FESTAC Police.
However, the man has vehemently denied the allegation. In his statement to the police, Baba Adura: “I only helped her to wash her spoon after it fell while she was eating.
“In the evening, I was surprised when the girl said I r*ped her. I did not do anything to her. I am married with three children. I only assisted to wash her buttocks last year when her mother was not around.”
A police prosecutor, Sergeant Francisca Okere, subsequently brought Baba Adura before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court on one count of rape.
The charge read, “That you, Adeniyi Adewale (41), on March 16, 2016, at about 2pm, at Flat 4, Amuwo Odofin, Lagos, at Apapa Magisterial District, did unlawfully have sexual intercourse with a four-year-old girl, thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos, 2011.”
The accused pleaded not guilty and elected summary trial.
The presiding magistrate, Mrs. O.A. Adegbite, admitted him to bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum. The matter was adjourned till June 9, 2016.
