The spokesperson of the Lagos state police command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, has reacted to the trending story of a 14-year-old girl allegedly raped by her Landlord's son at the Alakuko area of the state.
An X-user shared a video of the victim on social media showing blood around her private 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 this evening, 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 Landlord.
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!
Investigation is ongoing.''
