Monday, January 13, 2025 - The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 17-year-old boy, Jamiu Adebayo, for allegedly def!ling his neighbour’s eight-year-old daughter in the Aregbe area of Abeokuta.
It was gathered that the suspect reportedly lured the minor into his
parents’ sitting room, instructed her to remove her underwear and then def!led
her.
Spokesperson of the command, Omolola Odutola, who confirmed the incident
on Sunday stated that the suspect had been arrested and a thorough
investigation was underway.
According to the PPRO, the victim's mother, identified only as Olabode,
was away when neighbours called to inform her that blood was dripping from her
daughter’s private parts.
She noted that the minor had initially told her parents’ neighbours that
a stick had caused the injury.
Olabode told the police that she was shocked and filled with fear upon
discovering blood gushing from her daughter’s private parts when she arrived at
the scene.
All efforts to persuade the minor to reveal what had happened were
futile, as she repeatedly insisted that a stick had injured her private parts.
After further pressure and persuasion, the survivor reportedly confessed
to her mother that a 17-year-old Adebayo, who lived in the neighbouring
building, had r3ped her.
“The suspect took her (the survivor) to their bathroom to clean the
blood, then instructed her to change into another pair of underwear. He also
persuaded her to lie, claiming that a stick had caused the injury to her
private parts,” Odutola stated.
“Detectives swiftly sprang into action and apprehended the suspect. A
medical form has been issued to the victim and her mother for examination and
reporting. Preliminary investigations are currently underway.”
