Clement Ikechukwu Ogenyi, a 60-year-old patent medicine dealer who
allegedly defiled a 4-year-old girl in Otukpo, Benue state, narrowly
escaped being lynched by an angry mob at the weekend.
DailyTrust
reports that the suspect lured the minor into his room and had carnal
knowledge of her after she was sent to buy Vitamin C tablets from his
medicine store.
The unpleasant way which the girl walked back home prompted further probe that led to the discovery of her defilement.
Soon
after the matter became public knowledge, an angry mob almost lynched
the suspect as further revelations suggested that he had molested other
minors in the neighbourhood in the past. Ikechukwu is now in police
custody.
