BENIN—A 27-year-old man, Austin Okonkwo, has been remanded in prison custody by an Evboriaria Chief Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ikpoba-Okha, Edo State, for allegedly raping an 11-year-old Down Syndrome girl.

The accused, who was described with unprintable words when his victim was presented in the court, pleaded not guilty to the one-count charge preferred against him.

Police Prosecutor, Aigbedion Obakpolor, informed the court that the offence was committed on November 29.

When the case was mentioned, Chief Magistrate Frank Idiake, who refused the bail application, said rape cases were on the increase.

A relative of the victim, who pleaded anonymity after the court sitting, said the accused took the girl to his room where the act was committed.
The relative said the victim cried of pains in her private part, which led to the arrest of the accused.
The case was adjourned to January 21, 2015 for continuation of trial.

This is just sad. And it happens in Edo state a lot.

This is unfair. Why the little poor girl?

Until this practice is met with a firm brutal legal method of punishment,it just might find commonplace in the society


Sometimes one cannot blame those who engage in jungle justice...

Castrate that beast please . #Eye for eye

Anyone caught in rape anywhere in
Nigeria should either be hanged or stoned to
death...this is to purge the land of
wickedness which has downsized the
longivity of our people,s lives.....this
am sure will checkmate the activities of
these meth smoking youths harasing
people in the countryside including but
not limited to poor (imbeciles)......no confession
or restitution can stop certain
crimes....some wicked blood must flow to
clean the land perod!

Wot ever act u do in secret, one day shall be made open...do things u will be proud of when ur book opens...
