How man, 40, defiles 13-year old brother’s daughter in Lagos
A 40-year-old man, Nuwel Ajagu, has allegedly defiled the teenage daughter of his brother in the Ikorodu area of Lagos.
It was learnt that Ajagu lured the 13-year-old girl from her home at Bayeku Last Bus Stop to his apartment on Etubure Street also in Bayeku.
He was said to have rebuffed the teenager’s appeals to him not to defile her before he forcefully had carnal knowledge of her.
It was also learnt that efforts by the victim to free herself from his stranglehold by screaming for help were to no avail as the suspect gagged her mouth with a pillow.
He was also said to have warned her not to report the incident to anyone.
However, Ajagu was said to have been exposed when the victim’s mother, identified as Salako Toyin, discovered his criminal act.
