A 75-year-old man, Jacob Ayinla, has landed in trouble for allegedly raping a 15-year-old local juice seller popularly known as ‘Pito’ in his apartment in Osogbo.
Findings revealed that the incident happened on Wednesday evening around Odi-Olowo area Osogbo when Ayinla lured the teenager girl into his house under the pretence that he wanted to buy the local juice.
According to a source who craved anonymity said that: “The girl is living at No 10 Aresa area, Osogbo with her relative who produces the local juice for her to hawk every day.
A source said: “The girl always hawks the Pito around in our area but it is unfortunate that the girl was deceived by the old man and raped.
“After the incident she reported the issue to the police station, informing them of what Ayinla has done to her.”
However, it was learnt that Ayinla was arrested around 6:30 PM on Wednesday.
Confirming the report, Police Public Relations Officer, Osun Command, Mrs. Yemisi Opalola, said the victim reported the matter to Oja Oba Police Divisional Headquarters.
According to her, “Our men swung into action and arrested him in his house and we have taken the victim to Police Hospital for a medical test.
