47 year old arrested for defiling an 18 month old baby

Emmanuel Magbatie, a 47 year old craftsman
has been arrested for allegedly defiling an 18-
month-old girl in Owutu axis of Ikorodu, Lagos
State. According to Vanguard, Magbatie who
lived in the same compound as the toddler's
parents defiled the little girl last Wednesday.
This came barely a week after the Lagos State
Government sought compulsory psychiatric test
for rape and other domestic violence offenders
in the country.
It was learned that the little girl was rushed to
Ikorodu General Hospital by her parents for
treatment after the alleged defilement where it
was confirmed that the child had been defiled.
The toddler's mum confirmed that the person
who defiled her child was her neighbor.
The following day, she was taken to Mirabel
Centre at Lagos State University Teaching
Hospital, LASUTH, Ikeja, for test to help the
child overcome issues that may arise after.
Coordinator of Lagos State Domestic and
Sexual Violence Response Team, DSVRT, Mrs.
Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, said that DSVRT facilitated
the transfer of the case from the Owutu Police
Station to the gender desk of the state Police
Command in Ikeja last Friday to expedite action
on the case. Adding that Magbatie would be
detained and charged to court for proper
judgment.ppp
