According to Punchng, Freedom Barryneh, a security man, has been arraigned before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court on two counts of rape for allegedly raping his neigbour’s daughter on Akali Street, Ajegunle, Lagos, after she approached him and requested for N10 to buy biscuit.
After giving her the money, Barryneh, who was watching porn when the girl entered his apartment, persuaded her to stay with him. While the movie was on, he allegedly told her to undress but she declined, saying her mother would beat her for doing so.
However, Barryneh allegedly resorted to force and allegedly dragged her into bed and raped her. She eventually opened up to her mother when she began to feel pains in her private parts. Her mother, Ellen, reported the incident at the Ajegunle Police Division which led to Barryneh’s arrest on March 3.
According to Punchng, the results of medical tests conducted on the girl at the Ajeromi General Hospital, Lagos, stated, “Hymen broken with bruises around the infroitus.” The result, which was signed by one Dr I.A. Dauda, also stated that she suffered from “whitish foul smelling vaginal discharge.”
When arraigned, Barryneh pleaded not guilty and the magistrate admitted him to bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum. Cc: Punchng
