Police have arrested a 30-year-old man, Adewale Olakusi, for allegedly defiling a teenager at Ota in Ado-Odo-Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State. The victim (name withheld) is a 13-year-old girl. In a statement yesterday, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed that the suspect was arrested on Saturday.


Oyeyemi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said the arrest followed a complaint by the victim’s father that he discovered a sudden and unusual demeanour on his daughter as well as loss of appetite for food. After the father questioned his daughter, the victim informed him that the suspect forcibly had carnal knowledge of her and warned her never to disclose to anyone.


The PPRO added that upon the report, policemen from Onipanu Division swooped on the suspect and brought him to custody. He said: “Upon the report, the DPO, Onipanu Division, SP Sangobiyi Johnson, detailed detectives to effect the arrest of the suspect who happened to be living in the same house with the parents of the victim.

“On interrogation, the suspect confessed to the commission of the crime but blamed it on the devil.

“The victim has been taken to the hospital where medical report confirmed that the girl has been carnally violated.”

Oyeyemi said the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, had ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labour unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for proper investigation and prosecution. He quoted the commissioner as urging members of the public to always take the well-being of their children seriously, especially the female children.
