A carpenter, Gbanga Anaorin, 39, has been arrested by operatives of the Delta State Police Command for raping a two-year-old girl.
The suspect allegedly had carnal knowledge of the little girl by inserting his penis into her vagina forcefully.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the state police command, DSP Celetina Kalu, said a male resident in Okpanam town alerted the police after the crime was committed.
According to Kalu, while the informant’s two-year-old daughter, on the same date and time, was passing urine, she started crying of pain in her private part.
“And when they asked her what was wrong with her, the little girl said the suspect (Gbanga Anaorin) living in their compound injured her in the vagina.”
“On receipt of the report”, Kalu said, “detectives swung into action and arrested the suspect”, who she added “is now helping the police in investigation.”
She said the victim has been taken to the hospital for treatment, insisting that “the suspect will be made to face the full weight of the law at the end.”
