The police in Lagos on Saturday arrested one Asiribo Baba, 40, for allegedly shooting a bricklayer who attempted to rape his daughter.
Inspector Femi Martins said that Baba shot Ifeanyi Arinze, 29, who was making blocks at a building site in Agbara, Lagos.
He said investigations revealed that Arinze climbed the fence of Baba's residence in Agbara to pluck oranges in the compound when he saw Baba's 14-year-old daughter, who was sleeping outside."After he plucked the oranges, he went to the girl, who slept on the mat, and touched her breast but the girl screamed."Arinze covered the girl's mouth with his hand but her younger sister, who had been playing outside, came and called people,'' he said.
He said Baba, who had been listening to the screaming of her daughter, came out with a gun, ran after Arinze and shot him in the leg when he was about to jump the fence.He said other workers at the building site reported the case immediately to the police while Arinze was taken to the hospital.
