For crying out loud when will all this rape case stop in nigeria? is it that the punishment for the offenders is not enough....seriously am really tired about this RAPE ish. An Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos remanded a menial worker, Ikechukwu Egbo, at the Ikoyi Prison over the alleged murder of a 12-year-old girl, Bose Ogoja.The Chief Magistrate, Miss S.O. Solebo, who did not take the plea of the accused, gave the order, pending an advice from the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions. Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp. Richard Odigie, told the court that the crime was committed on December 30, 2013, at Ajara Dokoh in Badagry, near Lagos.
Odigie told the court that the accused allegedly attacked the deceased and dragged her into the defunct Nigeria Telecommunications Office, r*ped her and strangled her to death.“The accused (allegedly) ran away when he noticed the girl was dead. The complainant called in the police and the accused was arrested,” Odigie said.
He said that the offence contravened Section 221 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.Section 221 provides that any person who commits murder shall be sentenced to death.The court adjourned the case till April 11 for mention.
