Terrible! Girl, 14, Raped By 60-year-old Man(Pictured)

A 60-year-old bricklayer, Segun Benson has been arrested to raping a 14-year-old primary six pupil, and damaging her private part.

The Incident occurred on Mommoh street in the Agege area of Lagos.

According to PUNCH, Benson has an aged mother and has never been married.

After raping the little girl, he was said to have sent her out despite the flow of blood from her private part. Residents sighted the girl in a public bathroom, writhing in pain. After bleeding for a while, she collapsed, and was rushed to the hospital. 

Narating her ordeal, the little girl said; "“I am in primary six. On Friday, he gave me N50 to buy sweet for myself. He then asked me to caress his private parts. When I told him I would tell my daddy, he said I should not go home.

“He took me to his house around Railway Line where he raped me. I was there from 3pm till around 7pm. I started bleeding from his house and when I got home the blood did not stop. But I kept it secret until Saturday when people saw it.”

Her mother, Taibat said she had never met the suspect before.

“I have seven kids and she is the third child. I was sleeping when people called me that my daughter had been raped. I have never met the man before though he lives on the street. The government should take over the case and do what is right,” 

The suspect's mother, Mrs Tinuke Benson who is in her nineties said; " Segun is my only child. I had four other children and they are all dead. He is the reason for my living. I don’t know why he did what he did.

“Each time I tried to get him a wife, he refused and told me he was old enough to look for a woman for himself. He said that many times without getting a wife. Please help me because he’s my hope.”

Police PRO, Kenneth Nwosu confirmed the arrest.
