A physically challenged man, Kundus Kazeem, has been arrested and
charged before Apapa Magistrate’s court after he allegedly raped a
19-year old bread seller in his Ajegunle home, Lagos State, southwest
Nigeria.
He is now facing a two-count charge of felony and rape under the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State.
The
suspect allegedly lured the victim into his one room apartment at
Cemetery Road, Ajegunle and with the aid of a walking stick, forcefully
had carnal knowledge of her.
The 29-year old Kazeem who admitted
that women reject him because of his physical condition, said nothing
was wrong him except his two legs.
He also claimed he had sex with
her after they agreed on a fee and regretted that he was not able to
meet the initial condition she gave him.
Kazeem told P.M .NEWS that he did not rape the teenager as she claimed.
He
said before they went to his room, they agreed that he will pay N1,000
for the act and that he used part of the money he had on him to
entertain her by buying drinks for her and himself, after which he gave
her N400.
He said she became angry and went and told her parents that he raped her.
Contrary to his claim of bargaining with her, P.M.NEWS gathered that Kazeem asked the victim to come to his room and sell bread to him.
She
did not suspect anything and took the bread to him and when she
entered his room, he locked his door and threw her on his bed and used
his walking stick to tie her hands, tore her pant and raped her.
The
victim went home and told her parents what happened and the matter was
reported to the police and he was arrested and charged to court for the
alleged offence.
When the charge was read to him, he pleaded not
guilty. The presiding Magistrate, Mr M.K.O. Fadeyi granted him bail in
the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.
He was remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri pending when he will perfect his bail conditions.
The matter was adjourned till 6 December 2013 for mention.
