An Okada rider says his attempt to rape an eight year old girl was unsuccessful due to his manhood being too huge for her, The Punch reports.

The rider, simply identified as Daniel was caught by residents of the vicinity in Ogiri Okoh Street, Otukpo area of Benue state.

The victim’s mother said she became suspicious when she saw her daughter walking with legs apart.

The young girl told her mother that Daniel inserted his manhood into her, and she became unconscious.

She said, “By the time she woke up in his room, he saw the man pouring water on her.”

The suspect confessed to attempting to rape the girl but couldn’t because he could not penetrate her.

“Because my manhood was too big for her, I could not penetrate and had to leave her alone,” he told the vigilantes.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Moses Yamu confirmed the incident and said investigation is ongoing.
