It was quite a tearful day on the 13th of August when a 7-year-old girl was seen crying uncontrollably after she was allegedly defiled by her 40-year-old neighbor, amidst fears that he would evade justice.
The incident according to reports, happened at Precious Seed close, Oworo, Lagos – it was gathered that the suspect identified as Wale, had been doing it for long and the mother of the victim refused to take a decisive action.
However, things got escalated on Monday after other neighbors heard the cry of the victim, Esther – Wale was promptly arrested and dragged to the Alonge police station, Oworo.
The girl was thereafter rushed to the hospital, but the fear now is that the suspect will bribe his way out if the state government doesn’t take up the matter.
