The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 30-year-old actor identified as Praise for an alleged abduction and defilement of a 14-year-old girl.
In a statement on Thursday, the command’s Public Relations Officer, Superintendent Omolola Odutola said: “The Divisional Police Officer of Mowe Division has arrested one actor, Praise, a 30 year old ‘m’ for alleged defilement of a 14-year-old ‘f”’
“The arrest came following a report on the 1st of May at about 1405 hours from the grandparents of the teenager that their granddaughter got missing since the 27 April 2024″.
The statement further read that the girl’s grandparents alleged that the suspect defiled their granddaughter, stating that she was bleeding profusely upon being found.
It added: “The grandparents of the abducted teenager also alleged the suspect of having unlawful carnal knowledge of their granddaughter, who, under careful observation, was discovered to have been bleeding profusely.
“Medical forms have been issued for examination and treatment in a government hospital for more credible evidence”.
A preliminary investigation was reported to have commenced at the Mowe Divisional Headquarters; however, the case would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for “discreet investigation”.
“No child in Ogun State should be subjected to such inhumane treatment, sexual assault, and sexual abuse”, Odutola added.
It was reported in February that a man simply identified as Bro. Joe was arrested by the Nigeria Police and youths of Ogbogoro in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State for abducting and defiling a 12-year-old girl.
The girl was reported to be running an errand for her mother when the suspect and his accomplices allegedly took her hostage for two days in an uncompleted building.
