85 year old man named Peter Elaiho, have been arrested for allegedly raping a 7 year old girl by The Police in Edo State.
The suspect, Elaiho
is said to have had forceful sexual intercourse with the child at Ogida
quarters in the Egor local government area of the state.
The child’s mother, Endurance Ogieva, who reported the case to the police, said that the suspect had tricked the girl into entering his room, Punch reports.
“I
did not see my daughter. I later heard her shouting. I traced the
shouting to the landlord’s room, a man who is about 85 years old. I
rushed there and saw the man naked. I gripped the man and both of us
fell inside the chair. The man was begging me to settle but my shout
attracted people,” Mrs Ogieva said.
“When
they checked my daughter’s vagina, they saw blood stains and sperm. I
went to the police station and the man was arrested,” the child’s mother added.
Mrs Ogieva also said that the suspect’s family had offered her N1 million to settle out of court but she turned it down
“The
family of the man has been begging me to close the case but I refused
because the doctor said my child had to be checked and to also ascertain
whether the man has any disease. The child is too small for a man that
is 85. I don’t want money. They are promising to give me N1m but I want
justice from the government,” she said.
The police in the state are said to still be investigating the incident. CULLED
