Police in Ogun state have arrested a 64-year-old man, Ayotunde Taiwo, for allegedly defiling a 2-year-old girl (name withheld).
The suspect was arrested following a complaint lodged at Agbado divisional headquarters by the mother of the victim.
According to the girl’s mother, at about 11am of Tuesday September 7, 2021, she noticed that her daughter could not walk well, and when she inspected her body, she saw blood gushing out of her private part.
She then asked her daughter what happened and she pointed to the house opposite their own house.
“On getting to the house, the suspect was met washing his blood-stained boxer shot, indicating that he just had unlawful carnal knowledge of the little girl.”
The police public relations officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said that, upon the report, Agbado police division detectives went to the scene and promptly arrested the suspect.
Meanwhile, he said, the victim had been taken to hospital for medical treatment and the suspect transferred to the Family Support Unit at the Ota area command for further investigation and prosecution.
