Emmanuel Magbatie, a 47 year old craftsman has been arrested for
allegedly defiling an 18-month-old girl in Owutu axis of Ikorodu, Lagos
State. According to Vanguard, Magbatie who lived in the same compound as
the toddler's parents defiled the little girl last Wednesday.
This came barely a week after the Lagos State Government sought
compulsory psychiatric test for rape and other domestic violence
offenders in the country.
It was learned that the little girl was rushed to Ikorodu General
Hospital by her parents for treatment after the alleged defilement where
it was confirmed that the child had been defiled. The toddler's mum
confirmed that the person who defiled her child was her neighbor.
The following day, she was taken to Mirabel Centre at Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, Ikeja, for test to help the child
overcome issues that may arise after.
Coordinator of Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team,
DSVRT, Mrs. Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, said that DSVRT facilitated the
transfer of the case from the Owutu Police Station to the gender desk of
the state Police Command in Ikeja last Friday to expedite action on the
case. Adding that Magbatie would be detained and charged to court for
proper judgment.
