A 10-year-old girl, who was
allegedly raped by a 50-year-old man, Reuben Enosegbe and and his 16-year-old
son, Destiny, has narrated how they lured her.
The girl explained that they
always tempted her with N20 whenever they wanted to sleep with her.
She said, “sometimes, they will
even beg me to buy recharge card for them to lure me to their house.”
She said this while the father
and son were arraigned before an Evboriaria Magistrate’s Court in Benin, Edo
State yesterday.
The accused, Enosegbe and
Destiny, however, pleaded not guilty before Chief Magistrate Efe Akhere of
Oredo Magistrate Court 3.
Their lawyer, Nicholas Omobude,
pleaded for their bail, arguing that they were innocent of the crime until
proven guilty.
He assured the court that the
accused persons would not jump bail.
He further pointed out that the
second accused person was a minor, being just 16 years old, and should be granted
bail.
The magistrate Akhere rejected
his plea, adding that the matter will not be tried in his court.
The magistrate ordered that the
first accused person be remanded at the Oko Prison, while his son, who is a
minor, be kept at the Children’s Remand Home, Ugbekun Quarters.
