The suspect, Innocent Ifunayachi, 34, allegedly defiled the 14-year-old-girl in her family house.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Lagos State Command Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, on Sunday.
Elkana said, “The suspect, being a friend to the family, visited and found the girl eating noodles.
“While she left to get him some drinks, he quickly poured some quantity of dry leaves suspected to be Indian hemp in her food.
“She lost consciousness after eating the food and he took advantage of that to rape her,” he said.
Elkana said that detectives from the Family Support Unit have arrested the suspect who had also confessed to the crime.
“The victim has been taken to hospital for medical treatment and forensic examination.
“The suspect will be charged to court,” he said.
