One Moses
Shadrack, a 42-year-old security guard, has been arrested for allegedly
raping an 11-year-old girl at Pegni village, Kuje Area Council of Abuja,
the Federal Capital Territory.
According to daily trust, Shadrack defiled the girl on Saturday, June 25,
after he had lured the girl into an uncompleted building in the community.
A
resident of the area said that the accused who works as a security man at an
estate in the area, allegedly lured the girl with a token and took her inside
an uncompleted building and raped her.
The
resident said that the mother of the girl, who sold provisions in a kiosk,
raised an alarm after she went in search of her daughter and discovered the man
half naked inside the uncompleted building with her.
“You
know, any time the man wants to buy snacks or sachet water from the woman’s
shop, she sometimes gives it to the girl to take it to the man.
That
Saturday, he asked the woman to give the girl water and bread to take to him.
He used the opportunity to lure the girl and defiled her," the
resident said, adding that a mob, most of them commercial cyclists, got wind of
the incident and almost lynched the accused but for the intervention of some
elders.
The
suspect was then taken to the police station at Kuje, where a police source
confirmed the incident, saying the accused will be charged to court after
investigations were concluded.
