65-yr-old man arrested for serial raping of 11-yr-old

A 65-year-old man identified as Akinlolu Ogunlade who was arrested by men of the Oyo State Police command, Eleyele in Ibadan, for severally raping an 11-year-old said he made the minor his sex slave after rejecting several overtures from the girl before he gave in.

Described as a serial rapist when he was paraded by the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Leye Oyebode, the suspect said he was arrested at the Akobo area of Ogun State.

“I am 65 years old and I work as a plumber. I was arrested at Akobo area. The little girl came over to me and started disturbing me to have sex with her and I told her that she was too small. I told her she could not  do something of such but she replied by telling me that she could do it.”

“I thereafter had sex with her two times and kept her in my custody just for four days.”

When asked if he did not have a  wife,  he said, “I am married but my wife is dead and I have only one child”.

The Commissioner of Police noted that the suspect specialised  in abducting teenage girls and keeping them in his hideout  as sex slaves.

“The victim, “Bisi (surname withheld)”, aged 11, left home on May 27 at about 8pm for a church vigil at Abidi-Odan area, Akobo, Ibadan but did not return home on Saturday and all efforts to locate her whereabouts proved abortive.”

“However on May 30,  at about 1630, police detectives, based on information, traced the victim to the hideout of the suspect at Abidi- Odan area of  Akobo, Ibadan where his victim was  rescued.” The Commissioner of Police said.
