by  Khadijah Thabit 1 min read

A man has been remanded to Osogbo Chief Magistrate’s Court in Osun for raping and killing his 10-year-old cousin.

26-year-old Rufai Idowu reportedly committed the offence on November 4, at about 5p.m. at Oosa Compound, Ile Ogbo, in Ayedire Local Government Area of the state.

Court reports revealed that Idowu allegedly forcefully had carnal knowledge of her when the girl, who was on a visit, came to his room.

It was revealed that after he raped the girl, he then strangled her with the Hijab she wore because she started screaming for help.

The suspect is now to be remanded in Ilesha Prison custody.
