19yr-old boy for rapes nursing mother in Edo

THE Police in Edo State has arrested 19-year old Peter Braimoh who
allegedly raped a 24 year-old nursing mother at Agenebode, Etsako East
Local Government Council of Edo State.

The suspect was said to have gained entrance into the victim's
residence through the window at about 4am, knowing that the husband
was not around. On gaining entrance into the house, he ordered the
woman to undress and allow him make love to her or her little baby
will be shot dead.

But while the victim was pleading to the suspect to take whatever
valuable in the room and leave her alone, the suspect was said to have
gone for the little baby and turned him upside down, forcing the
mother to her kneels as she begged the suspect to spare the life of
the baby.

Following the persistent threat, the nursing mother agreed to the
suspect's advances and she was raped by the suspect. However, after
the incident the suspect escaped but the matter was reported to the
police Division in Agenebode.

The police swung into action and the suspect was trailed to an
undisclosed location where he was arrested. The Police in Agenebode
transferred the case to the State Police headquarters in Benin City
last Sunday.

The suspect who spoke to newsmen at the state Police Command
attributed his action to the handiwork of the devil and appealed for
mercy from the government.

He said, " the devil pushed me to go and make love to her because I
have been seeing her. I don't know when and how it happened, I am only
appealing that they should forgive me I will not try such thing again
in my life".

However, the victim who is currently receiving treatment at an
undisclosed hospital, appealed to the police to investigate the matter
and prosecute the suspect. Edo state Police Commissioner, Foluso
Adebanjo assured that the matter would be charged to court after
investigation.
