McCarthy Kuyemekume, who resides at Saviour’s Estate, Nkpor Village, Rumuolumeni, Rivers State, has been arraigned before the Magistrate’s Court in Rumuepirikom, Rivers State, for allegedly raping a 5-year-old girl.

He was said to have committed the offence on January 25, 2016 in his brother’s house within the estate. Kuyemekume was said to have taken custody of the girl when she was crying over her mother’s refusal to add milk to her meal.

Unknown to the victim’s mother, the accused took the girl to his brother’s house and had carnal knowledge of her. It was gathered that Kuyemekume had pretentiously sent his younger brother on an errand before he raped the girl.

Four hours later, the suspect was said to have returned the girl to her mother, but not without a stern warning and threat that her parents must not hear about what transpired between the two of them. The mother of the child, who was infuriated, reported the matter to the police. Crdt: Punchng
