A 27- year- old man, Fatai Gbodorogun , has been arrested by the Osun State Police Command in Osogbo for allegedly abusing a 10-year- old girl sexually.
The victim, identified as Mohammad Mariam was defiled in Ila Orangun.
It was gathered that the suspect had been visiting the house where the victim lives with her Father’s elder sister to have canal knowledge of her since last year.
According to the victim’s aunt who claimed anonymity for security purpose: “I am the one that is taking care of Mariam after her mother’s died some years ago. Fatai has always been having sex with my girl since last year. This is the third time he had sex with her.
“All I noticed was that my girl couldn’t work very well again. She couldn’t lift up her hands and legs very well. I kept asking her everyday what really happened, she didn’t answer me. I thought maybe she has a spirit disturbing her.
“When I noticed blood stains in her private part early this month, she told me that Fatai has been defiling her since last year and told her that she will die if she explain to anyone. She immediately fainted after she revealed what Fatai has been doing to her.
” I quickly ran out for help where neighbours and others joined us. We consulted some Alfas (Muslim clerics) and she was revived but she couldn’t walk very well up till now.
“We reported the case at Ila Police station and the matter has been brought to the State C.I.D in Osogbo.
” Presently, we are at the Police clinic to get the medical report and treatment for my girl.
When our correspondent asked about the father’s girl, she said that her father has gone to consult some herbalists to make sure her daughter finally regain her strength.
Confirming the story, the Osun State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Opalola Yemisi said that, ” We have arrested the suspect, we are currently investigating him now.
“The case has happened since last year but the family of the girl did not report until yesterday at Ila Police Station.
” The D.P.O has taken action and brought the suspect to State C.I.D for further investigation. We are still investigating him.”
