I want justice for my 3-year-old daughter – Mother of rape victim cries out

A woman, identified as Mrs Nkechi Amaechi whose three-year-old daughter was allegedly raped by a 30-year-old neighbour in Benin, the Edo State capital has called on the police to help bring the suspect to justice.

The Edo State Police Spokesman, DSP Stephen Onwochei, while confirming the incident, said the suspect had been apprehended.

Amaechi, mother of the victim, while reacting to the incident, disclosed that the the man has refused to take responsibility for the medical treatment of her daughter.

While speaking to newsmen, Amaechi said the suspect, lured her daughter into his room under the guise of buying her biscuit and he consequently took advantage of her.

“I saw my daughter walking funny. When I checked, I saw that her vagina was very wide. It was wider than that of a woman that just gave birth.

“The man was begging me and later wanted to fight me. I had to call the police. I do not have money to take care of my daughter. I want help from people for proper medical treatment,” she said.
