A commercial motorcycle operator
identified simply as Daniel, has dismissed allegations that he raped an
eight-year-old girl to coma.
Daniel was said to have lured the victim
into his room at Ogiri Oko Street in Otukpo, Benue State under the guise of
sending her on an errand on Wednesday.
The incident was said to have left the
eight-years-old unconscious.
The suspect was however apprehended by
vigilantes from Igbanonmaje after the girl’s mother reported the incident to
them.
According to a resident, the eight-year-old
told her that Daniel inserted his manhood into her, after which she became
unconscious.
“She said by the time she woke up in his
room, he saw the man pouring water on her,” the resident said.
Following his arrest by the vigilante,
the suspect, who is a native of Ado Local Government Area of the state, said
though he had tried to rape the girl, she left her because he could not
penetrate her.
Denying raping the girl to coma, the
newspaper quoted Daniel as saying, “Because my manhood was too big for her, I
could not penetrate and had to leave her alone.”
The incident was confirmed by the state
Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Moses Yamu.
Yamu said the suspect is now in custody,
adding that investigation into the matter was ongoing.
