Saturday 27th November 2021: Police detectives attached to the Ajegunle Division in Lagos  have arrested 34-year-old Godwin Iroro, for sexually abusing his friend’s 10-year-old daughter (name withheld).
Iroro who was arrested following a complaint lodged at the Police Station by the victim’s father, Chukwudi Chime, blamed the devil for the unprintable act.
The victims father Chukwudi who upon noticing the unusual and awkward movements of his daughter probed to know what happened to her, reported the case to the police after his daughter confessed the act to him.
The Command’s spokesman in the state, Adekunle Ajisebutu, in a statement titled, ‘Man, 34, Defiles Friend’s 10-Year-Old Daughter’said the suspect confessed to the crime but blamed the devil.
The statement read in part, “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.
“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 paedophile, 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.
“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.”
