A 14-year old boy who was so eager to experience sex has landed in trouble after he was allegedly caught defiling a five-year-old girl in their house in Apapa area of Lagos.
The teenager, who has been arrested and now facing a charge for defilement which attracts several years of imprisonment if he is found guilty, reportedly confessed to the Police that he had heard so much about sex and decided to taste it.
P.M Express reports that the incident occurred at Rasheed Street, Coconut Bus Stop, Olodi Apapa area of Lagos.
