A suspected paedophile identified as Isaac Evaghoghme, has been arrested for allegedly breaking into a house to rape a 7-year-old girl in Calabar, Cross River State, according to Calabar reporters.

The incident took place, last week Sunday, at Federal Housing Estate, Calabar, and the suspect was picked up, last Wednesday, through the efforts from the community and Basic Right Council Initiative, BRCI.

Evaghoghme allegedly broke into the victim’s house in the absence of her parent at about 10pm and defiled her. The girl was later taken to the hospital, where doctors discovered that her vagina needed to be stitched as a result of the damage caused by the suspect.
