A 41-year-old tanker�driver�identified as Bashiru has been arrested in Calabar for allegedly defiling a two-year-old girl �and infecting her with a sexually transmitted disease.
The incident happened in Okom Ita, Akamkpa Local Government Area, Cross�RiverState, when the two-year old girl �(name withehld) �strolled from her mother’s room �into �Bashiru’s apartment to play with the man she calls �uncle.”

Margaret, the toddler’s mother who narrated the incident to Vanguard said she did �not stop her daughter from going into Bashiru’s room because she considered him a neighbour �who could not harm her daughter.
She said:

�We have been living together for some time and now, so when my daughter went into his room I did not stop her even when she later �came out and complained that she was having pains in her private part. I thought it was ordinary pain until�in the evening�when I wanted to bath her and she began to cry when soap touched her private part.”

Margaret said when she reported the incident to the police, Basiru �was arrested �and taken to the Akamkpa police station .
Mr Hogan Bassey, the Cross�River�State Police Command spokesman confirmed the arrest of the man and said the matter was under investigation.
