The suspect was said to have gained entrance
into the victim’s residence through the window at about 4am, knowing that the
husband was not around. On gaining entrance into the house, he ordered
the woman to undress and allow him make love to her or her little baby will be
shot dead.
But while the victim was pleading to
the suspect to take whatever valuable in the room and leave her alone, the
suspect was said to have gone for the little baby and turned him upside down,
forcing the mother to her kneels as she begged the suspect to spare the life of
the baby.
Following the persistent threat, the
nursing mother agreed to the suspect’s advances and she was raped by the
suspect. However, after the incident the suspect escaped but the matter was
reported to the police Division in Agenebode.
The police swung into action and the
suspect was trailed to an undisclosed location where he was arrested. The
Police in Agenebode transferred the case to the State Police headquarters in
Benin City last Sunday.
The suspect who spoke to newsmen at
the state Police Command attributed his action to the handiwork of the devil
and appealed for mercy from the government.
He said, “ the devil pushed me to go
and make love to her because I have been seeing her. I don’t know when and how
it happened, I am only appealing that they should forgive me I will not try
such thing again in my life”.
However, the victim who is currently
receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital, appealed to the police to
investigate the matter and prosecute the suspect. Edo state Police Commissioner,
Foluso Adebanjo assured that the matter would be charged to court after
investigation.
