Nigerians Press Police To Investigate Lagos Landlord’s Son Over Rape Of Tenant’s Teenage Daughter

Nigerians have taken to their social media handles to put the Police in Lagos on notice in its investigation of the rape of a 14-year-old teenager allegedly by her landlord’s son.

The case has also been clouded by her mother’s refusal to corporate in the investigation.

An X-user had earlier shared a video of the victim on social media showing blood around her priv@te area. The X-user alleged that the landlord had threatened that nothing will be done to his son.

Nigerians took to social media to call on the authorities to fish out the suspect and prosecute him.

However in an update given on Tuesday evening, the spokesperson of the Lagos state police command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin Hundeyin, said the police were able to locate the house where the incident allegedly happened and met the absence of the victim, the suspect and the said let andlord. 

Hundeyin added that the mother of the victim was contacted but was unwilling to cooperate with the police.

‘’UPDATE: The house has been located in conjunction with @Lagosdsva. The landlord is not home. The suspect is not home, neither is the survivor nor her family home. 

“The survivor’s mum has been contacted on phone but she is not willing to cooperate with the police. Also, everyone on the street has declined assisting the police in any form. Radio silence!”

Hundeyin’s update on the rape case of the teenager further fueled more plea from netizens for the police not to quickly give up. Majority opined that the mother’s unwillingness to cooperate is not a true reflection of her mind because they are both under threats.

annjaystar said, “Let the investigation go on…I don’t mind contributing for them to get a new apartment.”

olly500k said, “Why will anyone on the street assist in the investigation when you guys will pack anyone with good information and lock them up first.”

ohistocute_touch said, “What if they’re being held hostage or under duress??”

bholaromobaba said, “The police should arrest every living and unliving things in that house and in the neighborhood. Until they all say what they know they should not be released. Definitely they have been threatened and the landlord and the son are notorious in that area.”

nayaah1 reacted, “Poor mother.. they’re afraid of eviction from the house in this hard time.”

stanley_ontop said, “You don’t need the mother’s consent or the landlord consent. Arrest everyone around there supporting this act.”
