A 30-year old ex-convict, Dada Isiaka, an indigene of Ada in Boripe Local Government of Osun, has been arrested by the Osun State Amotekun Corps for allegedly raping a 9-year old girl in Ada Town.
The Osun State Amotekun Commander, retired Brig.-Gen. Bashir Adewinmbi, who revealed this in a statement on Thursday, said the suspect was arrested on Tuesday at the scene of the crime.
Adewinmbi explained that the suspect lured a minor, around Aogun Compound in Ada, to an uncompleted building in the area and allegedly raped her.
He said it was the girl’s shouts, during the intercourse that attracted the attention of residents of the area who quickly called the officials of Amotekun Boripe Command to the incident.
“The girl raised alarm when she was being raped and when residents rushed to the scene of the incident, they met her with blood coming out of her private part.
“The residents apprehended the suspect on the spot and called the attention of Amotekun operatives to the incident.
“When the Amotekun officers took the suspect in for questioning, he admitted that he committed the offense,” he said
Adewinmbi explained that it was also discovered during interrogation, that the suspect was an ex-convict, having served three months in jail for stealing.
The commander said the suspect, however, had been handed over to the police for further investigation and prosecution.
He appealed to residents of the state to always report any infraction and suspicious movement in their areas to security agents for prompt action.
