Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested a 17-year-old boy named Jamiu Adebayo, for allegedly raping his neighbour’s eight-year-old daughter in the Aregbe area of Abeokuta, the state capital.
The police spokesperson, Omolola Odutola disclosed this in a statement obtained by Newspot on Sunday.
According to her, the suspect had lured the survivor into his parents’ sitting room, instructed her to remove her underwear, and then defiled her.
This led to blood dripping from the survivor’s private parts and when asked by her mother what happened, she lied that a stick had caused the injury.
Odutola quoting the survivor’s mother simply identified as Olabode, said she was away when neighbours called to inform her that blood was dripping from her daughter’s private parts.
The command stated that the suspect had been taken into custody and that a comprehensive investigation is being conducted to determine the facts surrounding the crime.
Odutola said, “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.
“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.”
