A married man identified as Daniel Dankulubi was almost lynched by an angry mob after he was accused of having unlawful carnal knowledge of a 3-year-old girl around Ganaga junction in Lokoja, Kogi State.
The suspect was alleged to have r@ped the girl at a bakery, Our Lover’s Bread, in Lokoja on Monday, January 6, 2025.
According to the mother of the girl, Amina Abdulazeez, her daughter told her of feeling pain in her private part upon getting home from work on Tuesday.
Mrs Abdulazeez claimed further that after much pressure on her daughter, she told her that, “Brother Dankulubi” p3netrated her female genital organ with his p3nis, and told her not to tell anyone”
She said the suspect attempted to escape from the bakery but for people around who assisted her to hold him down until the police arrived at the scene.
Amina added that the suspect would have been lynched before the arrival of the policemen, but for the intervention of the chairman of the community who pleaded that they should allow law enforcement agencies do their job.
“The matter was reported to the police, who immediately came and whisked him away to the Zone C Divisional Police Office in Lokongoma-Lokoja,” she said.
The State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), William Aya, confirmed the arrest of the suspect on Thursday, saying that the case would be transferred to the command headquarters for further investigations.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that the suspect is a notorious ped0phile in the community as he had reportedly r3ped other minors including his own daughter.
