Policemen from the Ajegunle Division in Lagos have arrested a 34-year- old married man, Godwin Iroro for allegedly defiling his friend's 10-year-old daughter.

 

This comes after the victim's father, Chukwudi Chime had reported the suspect to the police upon noticing the unusual and awkward movements of his daughter, probed to know what happened to her. The suspect was then arrested on November 25th.

 

The little girl when questioned disclosed that her father's friend, a father of four who also lives in the same house at 5, Iyalode Street, Ajegunle, Lagos, had carnal knowledge of her when her father was not at home.

 

Confirming the incident, the public relations officer of the state police command, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, said preliminary investigation revealed that both men are separated from their wives. While the victim lives with her father at the above address, the suspect's four children live with their mother in Asaba, Delta State.

 

The suspect, upon interrogation, confessed to the crime but blamed it on the devil. He also confessed to have sexually abused the little girl only twice before the evil was uncovered.

 

Angered by the beastly attitude of the pedophile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, immediately directed that he should be transferred to the Gender Unit of the Police Command for discreet investigation and diligent prosecution.

 

Ajisebutu said the CP warns such licentious men who would not keep their restless manhoods in check to desist from such contemptible act or face the grave consequences.
