The police have arrested a 22-year-old
man, Imoleayo Adekoya, for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl in a bush
in Sagamu, Ogun State.
The police said the suspect, who lives
at Ado Street, off Hospital Road in Sagamu, was arrested on Sunday, a
day after he committed the offence.
The Police Public Relations officer,
Muyiwa Adejobi, said in a statement that the victim was sent on errand
to a nearby market when Adekoya allegedly raped her.
Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of
Police, added that the suspect allegedly first lured his victim into the
bush before committing the offence.
He further said that when the victim did not return home on time, a search party was constituted to look for her.
The police spokesman said, “The helpless
girl was seen with blood all over her when a search party came across
her at late hours of Saturday.
“The suspect has been arrested and
confessed to the crime. The case has been transferred to the State
Criminal Investigation Department, Eleweran Abeokuta, for a thorough
investigation. The suspect will appear in court soon.
“The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State,
Ikemefuna Okoye, has assured the parents of the victim and the people
of Ogun State of justice in the matter. He warns those who are fond of
raping women, particularly minors, to stop as the command will no
longer tolerate such obnoxious act.”
