‘I Did Not Force Her,’ Man Arrested For Raping 11-year-old Girl Explains (See Photo)

​

A 21-year-old man, Ugochukwu Kingsley, will on January 26, know whether he will be tried for allegedly defiling the 11-year-old daughter of his neighbour.

Kingsley, from Abia State, was arrested last November 28 by the police following a complaint by the girl’s parents that he had had unlawful sexual intercourse with her.

The girl’s parent and Kingsley are neighbours in Oriwu along Igbogbo Road, Ikorodu.

Kingsley was said to have entered the bathroom when the girl was taking her bath. She was said to have started bleeding after the act.

But, before his arraignment, Kingsley explained that he did not force the girl. “I didn’t force myself on her. I asked her, she was aware of everything. I didn’t sleep with her but I made an attempt. I didn’t know she was bleeding,” he claims.

The suspect was arraigned by the police on December 5 on one-count of “unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl child aged 11 years.”

Chief Magistrate Oshoniyi barred the public from the proceedings because the victim is a minor.

Mrs Oshoniyi ordered that the case file be transferred to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for advice. She remanded Kingsley in Kirikiri.

The case was adjourned till January 26.
