Lokoja – The Nigerian Police Force has arrested a suspected pedophile for allegedly raping a 3-year-old girl in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.
Daniel Dankulubi, an employee at Our Lover’s Bread bakery near Ganaja Junction, is accused of committing the heinous act on Monday.
The incident came to light when the victim complained of pain to her mother. Upon further questioning, the child revealed that Dankulubi had sexually assaulted her.
