The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Police Inspector Femi Martins said Baba allegedly shot Ifeanyi Arinze, 29, who was moulding blocks at a building site in Agbara, Lagos.
He said investigations showed that Arinze climbed the fence of Baba's residence in Agbara to pluck oranges in the compound when he saw Baba's 14-year-old daughter, who was sleeping outside.
"After he plucked the oranges, he went to the girl, sleeping on a mat, and touched her Bosom but the girl screamed.
"Arinze covered the girl's mouth with his hand but her younger sister, who was playing outside, came and called people,'' he said.
The inspector added that Baba, who heard the screaming of her daughter, came out with a gun, ran after Arinze and shot him in the leg as he was about to jump over the fence.
He said other workers at the building site reported the case immediately to the police while Arinze was taken to the hospital.
