A Chief Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ikpoba-Okha, Edo State has ordered that a 27-year-old man, Austin Okonkwo, be remanded in prison custody for allegedly raping an 11-year-old Down Syndrome girl. Police Prosecutor, Aigbedion Obakpolor, informed the court that the offence was committed on November 29. When the case was mentioned, Chief Magistrate Frank Idiake, who refused the bail application, said rape cases were on the increase. A relative of the victim, who pleaded anonymity after the court sitting, said the accused took the girl to his room where the act was committed. The relative said the victim cried of pains in her private part, which led to the arrest of the accused. The case was adjourned to January 21, 2015 for further hearing.
