Monday, October 14, 2024 - The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 70-year-old man, Afolabi Michael, for allegedly defiling an 11-year-old girl.
The suspect was arrested
following a complaint lodged by the girl’s mother.
Though the suspect denied having
s@xual intercourse with the girl, he admitted engaging in “deep romancing” with
her.
The suspect, in his confessional
statement to the police, claimed that he has been suffering from weak erection
for many years now.
Lagos State Police Spokesman, SP
Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident at the weekend said on September
27, 2024, around noon, a case of defilement was transferred from Iju Division
to Gender Unit of Lagos State Police Command for discreet investigation.
Hundeyin stated that the case was
reported by the complainant on behalf of her daughter.
He said the complainant alleged that
sometimes in July 2024 when school was on vacation and when the school resumed,
the survivor was defiled by the suspect.
“She stated further that the suspect
had s@xual intercourse with the survivor multiple times. The suspect was
cautioned in English Language where he confessed that he romanced the survivor,
though he denied having sexual intercourse with her claiming that he has been
suffering from weak erection for many years now," the PPRO stated.
“However, the suspect has been
arraigned in court for defilement on October 10, 2024 and has been
remanded."
Hundeyin said another case of
defilement was reported on September 24, at the Gender Unit of the Command
against one Philip Agaku.
He said the suspect was alleged to
have been engaging a 15-year-old girl right from when she was 8-year-old.
