Chibueze, The injured leg and The victim
Edwin Alagbaso, who used razor blade, knife and an iron rod to punish the victim, blamed her for “causing the rape”.
A 22-year-old man, Uche Chibueze, who raped the minor, was also arrested by Ogun State Police Command .
Chibueze, on April 15, 2013, had sex
with the victim near the home of her guardian located at number 1
Magente Street, Pipeline, Akute.
Chibueze, however, told the media that he did not rape the victim since it was consensual.
He said, “I was at a friend’s gathering
when she came to me saying she had spiritual problem and wanted to know
her real family. I told her that she should follow me to Solution Church
which was nearby and she agreed.
“On our way to the place, I took her to a corner of the street and took
off her clothes. I also took off my shorts and I had not fully
penetrated when a resident caught us and raised the alarm. I tried to
flee but they apprehended me. I explained to them that it was not rape
but they did not listen to me.”
It was learnt that Chibueze and the
victim were taken back to Alagbaso’s house. The guardian in a rage
picked a knife and stabbed him in the palm.
“The man (Alagbaso) went for a kitchen
knife and wanted to kill me, but I grabbed it from him. He, however,
stabbed me in the palm,” Chibueze said.
Unable to do anything with the child
molester, Alagbaso was said to have picked a razor blade and inflicted
injuries on the scalp of the 12-year-old.
Not done, he allegedly used an iron rod to beat the victim and later used a knife to cut her in the legs.
As the victim was reportedly bleeding
from the head and other parts of the body, the residents, who had been
pleading, intervened and took her to the hospital.
