Police officials attached to Lagos State police command on Wednesday, April 12, 2016 arrested a 36-year-old man identified as Ime Martin, who raped his 15-year-old step-sister.
Martin who was paraded alongside other suspects confessed that he was drunk when he committed the act.
He said: “I was drunk that night and did not know what I was doing when I raped my step- sister. I raped her only once.”
It was gathered that the victim started living with the suspect’s family since she was five years old.
According to her, the suspect reportedly started raping her in 2015 and had raped her several times before he was finally arrested.
The victim said: “He slept with me twice, first when I was 14 years old last year and the second time was last Sunday, when my aunty and her son traveled. The first time, I reported to my aunty, when my aunty confronted him, he denied it.
“He said I was careless and probably I had left the door open and an unknown person had come to rape me. He sounded so convincing and my aunty believed him.
“The second time which was on Sunday, when he came into the room, he covered my mouth and raped me. I struggled with him, but he overpowered me. That night, I ran out of the house. The young man I ran to was our neighbour and I reported what had happened.
“He also almost raped me. So, I ran and I saw the police patrol van from Lion Building, who rescued me.”
