Police in Calabar, Cross River State have
arrested a 41-year-old tanker driver identified
as Bashiru, for allegedly defiling a two-year-old
girl and infecting her with a s*xually
transmitted disease.
Narrating the incident, the toddler's mother
Margaret said the incident happened when her
two-year old daughter went into Bashiru's
apartment to play, adding that she did not
stop her from going into Bashiru's room
because she considered him a neighbour who
could not harm her daughter. "She calls him
uncle," she said.
The incident happened in Okom Ita, Akamkpa
Local Government Area, Cross River State.
"We have been living together for some time
and now, so when my daughter went into his
room I did not stop her even when she later
came out and complained that she was having
pains in her private part. I thought it was
ordinary pain until in the evening when I
wanted to bath her and she began to cry when
soap touched her private part," Margaret said.
When she reported the incident to the police,
Basiru was arrested by officers from the
Akamkpa police station.
Confirming the arrest, Cross River State Police
Command spokesman, Mr Hogan Bassey said
the matter was under investigation.
