Man arrested for raping 3yr old girl

A 34-year old man, Kehinde Paul Layode, 34, has been arraigned before a family court in Ikeja for allegedly abusing a three-year old girl (name withheld).
The incident, which happened in Lagos, Nigeria, was reported at the Igando Police Station.
The accused, if found guilty, risks spending a minimum of five years in jail under the Criminal Laws of Lagos State.
According to the girl’s mother, Kehinde was one of her neighbours and she left her daughter in his custody to get medicine for the girl when the man allegedly took advantage of her.
“I was going to make my hair in the salon when I discovered that my daughter’s temperature was high and I told Kehinde’s wife to help me take care of her. But she asked me to leave her with her husband since she also wanted to make her hair and that we should go to the salon together.”
“It wasn’t up to ten minutes after I went to get the drugs for her that I returned to the house and asked Kenny (Kehinde) to open the door but he didn’t. Instead, he told me that the girl was sleeping, that I shouldn’t bother myself about her. Then I asked him to at least open the door for me to see my girl and he said that he was in the bathroom.”
The girl’s mother said she was shocked when the door was eventually opened and she discovered that the girl had been abused.
The doctor’s report confirmed that the girl was raped following the tests carried out on her.
It was also alleged that the accused had pleaded with the family to settle out of court but the girl’s family insisted that they wanted justice to prevail.
