Police have arrested a 20-year-old boy, Segun Olaseni, for
allegedly defiling a 9-year-old girl at New Life Estate, Sango-Ota in Ogun
State.
Olaseni allegedly committed the crime on May 21 at the girl’s father’s house in
the estate. The victim’s father, Mr. Adepoju Akinyemi, had reported the matter
at Sango Ota Police Division after he came back and found his daughter in bad
condition.
The DPO, SP Akinsola Ogunwale, led detectives to the suspect’s house in the
same estate to effect his arrest. Upon interrogation, the suspect admitted
having carnal knowledge of the girl.
He said was close to the family of the victim since they both lived in the same
estate. Olaseni said on the fateful day, he intruded into the girl’s father’s
house and met her alone. He dragged her from the living room to her’ father’s
room and defiled her on the man’s bed.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered the transfer
of the case file to Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of the State
Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for further
investigation and prosecution.
The CP who decried the careless attitude of some parents towards their children
especially female ones appealed to members of the public to take their
children’s welfare serious “so as not to make them easy prey in the hands of
devilish people”.
