Although the incident occurred on Christmas Day at 36,
Fadeyi Street, Olowora, the suspect was reportedly
arrested on Tuesday following the intervention of the
Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence team in
collaboration with the Ministry of Youth and Social
Development.
The Nation gathered that the suspect, who usually
assaulted the 16-year-old victim, accused her of being
stubborn.
The suspect, it was gathered, usually “over labored” the
teenager, whose mother reportedly abandoned her after
the death of her father.
According to sources, residents of the street revolted
against the woman who also used razor blade to cut
the victim’s thighs and shaved her hair.
They alleged that the woman usually forced the victim
to hawk and work into later hours of the night.
The Nation learnt that the residents mobilised to ensure
the suspect was apprehended and handed over to
policemen from Ketu Police Division, while the victim
was taken into protective custody.
