ASurulere Magistrate Court has ordered that a 56-year-old grandpa be remanded in Kirikiri Maximum Prison, Lagos, for allegedly fingering a three-year-old girl. Investigations revealed that the suspect and the parents of the girl reside in the same building.
According to the mother of girl (name withheld), “It’s the usual character of the old papa, and he is not willing to turn a new leaf. On the fateful day, which was the 41st day after my husband’s death, I was looking for my daughter when one of my neighbour’s daughters told me that she was inside “fingering” daddy’s room... I stood at the man’s door, calling my daughter. Suddenly, he opened the door and pushed her out with her pant half-way down. She was crying and calling: ‘My bum-bum, my bum bum.”
