A
56-year-old grandpa is currently being remanded in Kirikiri Maximum
Prison for allegedly fingering a three-year-old girl. The suspect, who
resides at Block 1, Masha, Surulere, Lagos, claimed to be a staff of
Mushin Local Government.
Investigation revealed that the suspect and the parents of the girl reside in the same building.
According
to the mother of girl(name withheld), “it’s the usual character of the
old papa, and he is not willing to turn a new leaf.
“On the
fateful day, which was the 41st day after my husband’s death, I was
looking for my daughter when one of my neighbour’s daughters told me
that she was inside “fingering” daddy’s room but her mother instructed
her to keep quiet. I stood at the man’s door, calling my daughter.
Suddenly, he opened the door and pushed her out with her pant half-way
down. She was crying and calling: ‘My bum-bum, my bum bum.”
The
matter was immediately reported at the Bode Thomas Division, Surelere,
where policemen were sent to arrest the suspect. The little girl was
taken to hospital for examination and the reports confirmed she was
sexually molested.
The man was charged to Magistrate Court 3,
Surulere where he pleaded not guilty to the one-count charge. He was
ordered remanded in prison custody while the case was adjourned till 3
July, 2012.
