9-year-old girl infected with HIV, after being raped by neighbour

29-year-old Morufu Sofoluwe, has been arrested and remanded in prison for allegedly raping his neighbour’s nine-year-old daughter and infecting her with HIV.

Back in July, in Abeokuta, Morufu was said to have lured the victim into his room and had carnal knowledge of her.

According to the prosecutor, “The nine-year-old girl, who had been sick for a while, was taken to the hospital on August 28, where some tests were carried out and the results indicated that she has HIV.

“After questioning, the victim later told her parents that the accused was the one that raped her. The accused had also been diagnosed of HIV.”
