The police in Abuja have arrested a 30-year-old man, Blessing Augustine for allegedly defiling his neighbour’s one year old daughter.
Augustine, an indigene of Kogi State who resides in Lugbe Zone 4, Abuja was said to have committed the act on June 13, while pretending to be playing with her.
He was said to have poked his finger severally into the baby’s genital.
GISTMANIA gathered that Augustine’s alleged act was discovered by the baby’s father who reported the matter to the police and the suspect was subsequently apprehended.
The one year old baby was taken to Gwarimpa General Hospital and Amaco Hospital, a private health hospital, where doctors in both places confirmed that she was segxwally assaulted.
Narrating how he discovered the act, Nnamdi Chukwu, father of the baby said, “the ugly incident happened on June 13, 2015, when I heard my baby crying. I asked my wife to find out why the baby was crying. She said that Augustine told her that the little child saw a chicken and was frightened. But somehow the baby could not stop crying, which obviously meant that she was in pain. So, I checked her thoroughly and saw little blood in her private part (genital).
“Prior to this time, there was a day my wife was preparing for a birthday party and had gone into the bathroom to bathe. Augustine came quietly to our room and carried the baby without her knowledge. When she heard the baby crying, she asked Augustine, who responded that he was playing with the baby, so we didn’t suspect anything.
”But on that June 13, when the baby continued to cry in pain, after Augustine claimed that the baby saw a chicken, I took her to Gwarimpa General Hospital, where a doctor examined her and confirmed that she was defiled.
”I immediately reported the matter at Lugbe Police Station and Augustine was arrested. We have lived in the same compound with him for about one year. I want justice to be done.”
Augustine who denied the allegation of molestation said he had severally taken the baby to his room to play but never carried out the act.
“I do play with the little baby.One day, she suddenly started crying and the mother asked me and I told her that the baby saw a chicken in the compound. I know always carry the baby from the room to the kitchen and play with her. I am the only person that always plays with her. I do carry the baby sometimes without the knowledge of the mother to my room and play with her. But I don’t know what they are saying that I molested the little baby. I don’t know who fingered (defiled) the baby and molested her.”
Confirming the incident, the Commissioner of Police in the FCT, Mr Wilson Inalegwu said the suspect would be charged to court when investigations into the matter are concluded.
