Barber, 37, rapes 7-yr-old girl

Police in Lagos have arrested a 37-year-
old barber who allegedly raped a seven-
year-old primary school pupil in Papa
Ajao area of Mushin, Lagos, Tuesday.
The victim said she was given a packet of
biscuit before the suspect, identified as
Adelopo Yusuf, defiled her, saying on
arrival from school Tuesday, she met
their apartment locked with the
whereabouts of her older siblings
unknown.
Hungry, she then went to Yusuf's
barbing saloon to wait for her siblings,
who gave her biscuit and accompanied
her to her parents flat, which was still
locked.
The father of one then laid her on a
bench, pulled off her pant and had canal
knowledge of her. He cleaned her up
with a rag before taking her back to his
shop, where she waited until one of her
older siblings arrived.
However, the bubble burst after the little
girl narrated what transpired between
her and Yusuf to her sibling who,
thereafter, informed their parents. Yusuf
was said to have initially denied, until
doctor's report from Mushin General
Hospital confirmed that the girl's hymen
had been broken, signifying that there
had been penetration.
Consequently, Yusuf was arrested. As at
5p.m. yesterday, the case was said to
have been transferred to the State
Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Department, SCIID, Yaba.
meanwhile, spokesperson for Lagos State
Police Command, Dolapo Badmus, a
Superintendent, said the case was still
being investigated.
