The police in Lagos have arrested a 34-year-old man, Kehinde Frederick, for defiling his neighbour’s daughter in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
It was learnt that the victim’s mother had left the one-year-old child and her two siblings, aged eleven and twelve at home while she went to farm on Wednesday.
Frederick was said to have entered their room when the woman was away and asked the siblings to close their eyes while he inserted his finger into the little girl’s private part.
The mother was said to have come back and met her baby crying and when she finds out what happened, the victim’s elder sisters reportedly told her that Fredrick molested their sister.
