| The convit-Nurudeen Oriyomi |
A scrap collector, Nurudeen Oriyomi, will spend the next 13 years in prison after an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court, found him guilty of raping a 12-year-old girl in the Bariga area of Lagos State.
Oriyomi,
an indigene of Ilorin, Kwara State, had allegedly lured the girl into
his house on Alhaji Yinusa Street in the area and forcefully had canal knowledge of her on April 9, 2016.
He had pleaded that he raped her because his
girlfriend had refused to visit him and he was starved of sex, and hence
had to drag the girl into his room while she was sent on an errand by
her grandmother. After the rape, he allegedly gave the girl the sum of
N200.
The act was uncovered after the girl's
mother who had travelled out of Lagos, returned from her trip and
discovered a whitish substance in her private parts and after probing
her, the victim confessed that Oriyomi raped her.
The matter was reported at the Bariga Police
Division, before it was referred to the Gender Unit of the Lagos State
Police Command Headquarters.
After the convict pleaded guilty to the two-counts charges bordering on rape preferred against him, the magistrate, Mrs. B.O. Osunsanmi, duly sent him to jail without an option of fine.
