Operatives of the Ogun state police command have arrested a man for the alleged crime of defilement.
Daily Report Nigeria gathers that the man, identified as Wasiu Sorunke, a 52-year-old farmer was arrested at the Owode Egba area of Ogun state after the victim’s mother reported the incident to the police.
Confirming the arrest, the PPRO said Waisu was said to have defiled the 14-year-old-girl daughter of a food vendor he use to patronize.
“She would also help her mother in the shop before going back home to do some chores and would return later to continue helping her mother,” Odutola stated.
“On a day in July, during the holiday, the girl came back to the shop and told her mother that she could not open the padlock of their room door. Thinking of what could be done, the mother asked a young man who was around to help, and the suspect, who was also there at that time, volunteered.
“Seeing him as a mature man and family friend, the girl’s mother agreed to have him follow the girl. When he could not open the padlock, he got the woman’s permission to break it so that the girl could gain access to their room. From that day, he knew where the girl was staying
“There was a day he left his phone with the girl in her mother’s shop and she was playing a game on it. She later took the phone to him in his home and he slept with her. It continued until the mother was informed.”
Further investigation revealed that whenever the woman was a busy in her shop, Wasiu would go to their house to have sex with her daughter, and in some occasions, he would invite her to his house and enjoy s3x session with her, until the lid blew open when neighbours informed the girl’s mother.
In an interview with the publication, the suspect said that he didn’t meet the minor as a virgin.
“I ‘m a widower; I lost my wife two years ago. I had four children but I ’m left with one, a daughter. She’s 20 years old, married with one child and pregnant with the second one,” he explained.
“On a day in July, during the holiday, the girl came back to the shop and told her mother that she could not open the padlock of their room door. Thinking of what could be done, the mother asked a young man who was around to help, and the suspect, who was also there at that time, volunteered,” Odutola stated.
“I was arrested because I started sleeping with the daughter of the food vendor I was patronising. She’s 14 years old. I had been interacting closely with the family and one day, the mother asked me to help her break the padlock used to secure the door of her room when it could not be opened by her daughter,” he explained.

“When I got to the house and finished what I was requested to do, I asked the daughter of the food vendor whether she was already having sexual relationships and she said yes. That was how we started having s3x together. She would come to my house and I would go to her mother’s for us to enjoy ourselves.
“When her mother learnt of it, she informed the police that I defiled her daughter. I told her that I didn’t do so, as I didn’t meet her as a virgin. The mother told me that her daughter was too young for me to abuse, but I insisted that I was not the first man in her daughter’s life. Still, I was arrested.
“When we got to the police station, we were to go for a medical examination to get a doctor’s report. It was confirmed that her hymen is no longer intact.”
He disclosed that he has a woman he was courting for marriage and another one he was just dating, but said that he was tempted to have a s3xual relationship with the girl because they both live in the same neighbourhood.
