The Ogun State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corp (NSCDC) has arrested a 35 year old man, Odewale Iseoluwa Akinleye for defilement.
Akinleye was arrested by the corps for the alleged defilement of a 16-year-old girl in Ogun.
The Ogun NSCDC made this known on Thursday while parading Akinleye at the Command headquarters in Abeokuta on Thursday.
The Commandant David Ojelabi represented by the Public Relations Officer, Dyke Ogbonnaya while addressing journalists said the suspect, who is a musician and drummer was also in a romantic relationship with the victim’s mother before she (victim’s mother) relocated to Israel in 2017.
Ojelabi disclosed that investigation by the Corps revealed that Akinleye has had carnal knowledge of the victim on several occasions before he (Akinleye ) was caught by the victim’s family members and subsequently reported at the NSCDC Ofada- Mokolokin Division.
He revealed that the Anti-Human Trafficking, Irregular Migration and Gender Unit of the NSCDC had commenced investigation into the matter.
He also assured that the suspect will be charged to court for appropriate justice to be made.
The Commandant however, cautioned parents, particularly mothers, to exercise caution when interacting with men when their female children are within the environment because this could have a negative impact on the kids.
"The NSCDC, Ofada-Mokolokin Division got to know about this matter through the family members of the victim and went after the suspect. After thorough investigation, we found out that the mother of the victim (name withheld) had a child together sometime ago. However, the mother has relocated to Israel since 2017.
“The suspect has been having repeated sex with both the victim and the mother. The suspect also confessed to defiling the victim as well as attested that the sexual incident happened several times.
The suspect, Akinleye however denied raping the victim, claiming that the sexual act was consensual.
