A 65 year old man that raped a teenager said "I want to marry her"

    

A 65-year-old man, Yusuf Aminu Onuka is in the Nigeria Police Force  custody in Ogaminana, Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State, for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl, Miss Silifa who just completed her primary school education at Saint Patrick Primary School in Ayere, Ekiti state . The alleged rape took place on the 29th of July.

According to Comrade Mamman Aminu, a human right activist, “On that fateful day Silifa went to fetch water in the man’s compound when he (Onuka) begged the girl to help him carry a bucket of water to his sitting room which she obliged.

“Surprisingly, as the girl entered the sitting room and dropped the bucket of water, Onuka gripped her and pushed her into his bed room and forcefully raped her.”

The victim reported the incident to an association in the Local Government known as Adavi Joint Community which then summoned accused for interrogation.

Comrade Aminu when the man was invited by the Adavi joint community for a meeting, he confessed to have raped her, but did not show remorse over his sinful act.

“The confession he made before the members at the meeting prompted us to invite the police and hand him over for further investigation and prosecution so that it will serve as a deterrent to others who may have similar sinister intention against underage girls,” he said.

The 65-year-old man while responding to the allegation of rape levelled against him, admitted raping the girl, but that he intend to marry the girl.
