A 29-year-old tailor, Adebomi Oke has said that the devil pushed him to sexually abuse a four-year-old neighbour’s daughter in Ondo State.
Speaking on the arrest, Mr Hammed Abodunrin, Ondo State NSCDC Commandant, said that Oke was arrested on Adegoroye Street, Oshinle in Akure.
He explained that the NSCDC officers acted professionally by whisking away the suspect who was almost mobbed by some angry youth.
Abodunrin stated;
From the extrajudicial statement of the suspect, he confessed that he sexually abused the minor.
On his part; the suspect said;
I am appealing to people, especially my family, to help me beg the girl’s mother not to be annoyed. And I pray that God to help me so that she can forgive me because I don’t want to go to prison.
In a related development, Abodunrin also said that Oluwadamilare Olawale, a 22-year old driver and his friend, Suraju, gang-raped a 14-year-old girl.
The commandant said that the suspects would be arraigned after investigations are completed.
He explained;
It’s sad that the repeated cases of defilement of minors, rape, sexual gender-based violence, amongst others are increasing everyday. So, let our parents and guardians watch over their wards and not leave their children in the care of neighbours. I will also advice all criminal-minded persons to relocate from Ondo State or face the consequences of their despicable behaviours.
