A 76-year-old man has been accused of impregnating a 12-year-old girl in Oworonshoki area of Lagos State.
The old man’s only known names are Baba Debo.
The girl is said to be two months pregnant.
According to a police source, after the news filtered out that Baba Debo was responsible for the girl’s pregnancy, residents had gone wild, attempting to lynch the old.
Some of the residents are claiming that the old man took advantage of the young girl, who used to hawk fish around the area.
The cat was led out of the bag recently after the young girl took her parents to Baba Debo’s home.
She revealed how the old man allegedly invited her into his home under the guise that he wanted to buy fish.
According to the girl, before she knew what was happening, the old man overpowered and raped her.
The girl had gone home and bottled up the incident.
Two months later, her mother noticed things were not well with the girl and had taken her to the hospital where she was confirmed pregnant.
