Osun State Police Command has arrested a 22-year-old man, Daniel Sunday, for allegedly raping two underage girls of the same parents.
The suspect was said to have lured the girls to an uncompleted building in Iloko Ijesa by showing them pornographic film on his telephone.
The two sisters, who fell into the hands of the suspect, were said to be aged eight and 12 years.
They were sent on an errand by their mother, which reportedly gave Sunday the opportunity to lure them with the erotic film in his telephone.
The suspect was also said to have given the victims N50 each to further entice them.
The girls were said to have stayed back at the uncompleted building after they had been defiled, while their mother became worried when she couldn’t find her two daughters at home.
The worried mother was said to have reported a case of missing persons to the police and detectives were sent out to search for the girls.
The Police Public Relations Officer for the command, Mrs. Folasade Odoro, confirmed the incident in a statement. She added that the suspect was arrested and had confessed to the crime.
The statement read in part, “The suspect confessed to the crime and stated that he had been in the illicit acts of showing children ‘blue’ films from his mobile phone after which he would give them the sum of N50 as a form of enticement.
“The two children have been taken to the hospital for proper medical treatment and examination. The suspect will be charged to court after conclusion of investigation.”
In a related incident, one Odey, a 23 year-old man, was arrested by the police for allegedly defiling a seven year-old girl.
The incident, according to the PPRO, happened at Odogo Ijesa on September 18.
The mother of the victim was said to have left her two daughters at home and went to the farm.
The suspect was said to have lured the younger of the two siblings away and forcibly had sex with her.
The mother, on returning home, was said to have noticed that her daughter was behaving in a strange way. She probed her and the little girl was said to have confessed.
The case was reported to the police and the suspect was promptly arrested.
The PPRO said the suspect would be charged to court immediately the investigation was concluded.
