The State Commandant of the NSCDC, Iskilu Akinsanya, revealed that the two suspects, Olalekan Joshua, a native of Ibadan and Olaniyi Segun, an indigene of Ondo were arrested over rape.
He said Joshua raped an eight year-old minor in her mother’s shop on December 18, 2020 around 8pm while the second suspect lured another 16-year-old girl to his apartment when the victim was sent on an errand to buy petrol from a filling station and he raped her.
“Olaniyi Segun raped the victim and impregnated her in the process,” he said.
He admonished parents to take proper care of their children and encourage them to be disciplined.
