A 25-year-old man, David Nnebong, was arrested on Monday in Somolu, Lagos, after he allegedly had sex with
his two-year-old cousin. On the day the incident occurred, David, who lived with the little girl and her grandmother at 18 Awoseyin Street, Somolu, was left alone with the child after the grandmother went out. When the grandmother, referred to as Iya Wura, returned, the little girl who was crying while greeting her grandmother pointed to her vagina. The grandmother became suspicious and then raised an alarm and all the neighbours pounced on David.
Although upset, Iya Wura and other relatives who were present did not want to get him arrested but only wanted him to leave the house and relocate elsewhere, but neighbours insisted on involving the police. At the time David was taken to Alade Police Division, there was still semen on the child. The mother of the girl was said to be in Calabar.
How can they not want the police involved? So disappointed in the grandmother and the other relatives. So, the punishment is to send him away to leave elsewhere so he can continue his evil deeds? Relative or not, rape is a criminal act and all those who involve in such evil acts should be made to face the consequences. For raping a girl as little as that, I think he should be castrated. I have a lil' girl and cannot imagine what that girl must have gone through. Me, I go kill person! Relative or no relative, blood go flow.
