The police in Benue State have arrested a 32-year-old man and charged him to court for allegedly raping his lover's 2 daughters and infecting them with HIV.
Terkura Iorpuu allegedly had forced sexual intercourse with the two children, aged 6 and 8, despite being diagnosed with HIV over a year ago.
The girls’ mother, Mrs. Mson Tor, is also said to have tested positive for the disease.
The alleged rapist’s crime was discovered when the children began to walk in an unusual manner and were taken to a hospital for a medical exam, Punch reports.
The results showed that both children had been raped and were also HIV positive and when questioned, they reportedly said that they had been raped by their mother’s boyfriend.
The suspect has been remanded in prison on the orders of a court until the case continues on December 4.
