Osun State Amotekun Corps has arrested a 30-year-old ex-convict, Dada Isiaka, an indigene of Ada in Boripe Local Government of Osun, for allegedly raping a 9-year-old girl in Ada Town in the state
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Osun State Amotekun Commander, Brig-Gen. Bashir Adewinmbi (retd.), disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, saying that the suspect was arrested on Tuesday at the scene of the crime.
He asserted that the suspect lured a minor, around Aogun Compound in Ada, to an uncompleted building in the area and allegedly raped her.
Adewinmbi noted that it was the girl’s shouts during the act that drew the attention of residents of the area who quickly called the officials of Amotekun Boripe Command to the incident.
“The girl raised alarm when she was being raped and when residents rushed to the scene of the incident, they met her with blood coming out of her private part.
“The residents apprehended the suspect on the spot and called the attention of Amotekun operatives to the incident.
“When the Amotekun officers took the suspect in for questioning, he admitted that he committed the offense,” he said
The Amotekun Commander pointed out that it was also discovered during interrogation that the suspect was an ex-convict, having served three months in jail for stealing.
He stated that the suspect, however, had been handed over to the police for further investigation and prosecution.
Adewinmbi urged the residents of the state to always report any infraction and suspicious movement in their areas to security agents for prompt action.
