Innocent Ifunayachi, a 34-year-old man who allegedly raped a 14-year-old girl after he had laced her food with Indian hemp that made the girl become unconscious, has been arrested by detectives from Bariga Police Station.
The suspect allegedly defiled the 14-year-old-girl in her family house.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Lagos State Command Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, on Sunday.
