A 27-year-old homeless man, David Oladokun, has been arrested for allegedly having carnal knowledge of a toddler (names withheld) in Ibadan, Oyo State on Tuesday.
The incident occurred at about 12 noon at Olunde, Ajiyo-Ajoro
areas along Olomi-Ayedun road.
The girl, less than four years old, was said to have been left
with a family friend by her mother and was playing outside the
shop of her guardian when the suspect stylishly lured her, picked
her up and took her to an uncompleted building opposite a hotel
at Ogo Oluwa junction, Olunde Ajiyo-Ajoro area.
He reportedly gagged her mouth so that her screams would not be heard by those around the area and defiled her with penetration.
After a while, the guardian and other neighbours were said to
have been wondering where the girl could be and started searching for her.
As they were doing this, they reportedly noticed the suspect
trying to run away.
This made the searchers stop him, held on to him, and took him
inside the uncompleted building where they found the girl.
The crowd immediately descended on him, rendered him n3ked and was about to lynch him before he was rescued by the Oluyole
Security Surveillance Team, led by its Commandant, Olusegun
Idowu.
The OSST Commandant, who spoke with the Nigerian Tribune, said that preliminary findings revealed that the suspect, who said he learnt carpentry, was homeless and used to sleep in a friend’s
residence or wherever he could lay his head on.
He was also said to be a hemp smoker.
He was taken to Sanyo Police Station and handed over to police
officers for further investigation.
Nigerian Tribune learnt that the toddler, who was bleeding in her
private part, was taken to a private hospital by the police for
prompt medical examination.
During interrogation, the suspect, who claimed to hail from Akure
in Ondo State, was said to have told senior police officers at
the station that he acted through the influence of unforeseen
forces.
