The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of Femi Onayemi for allegedly defiling a 13-year-old girl (name withheld) in the Obada-Oko area of the state.
The suspect had earlier been hired by the girl’s parents to tutor her at their home in the community in 2023.
It was also gathered from the state command that the suspect had also been attending the same church with the survivor before the crime was committed.
It was learnt that the survivor’s parents were shocked when the suspect scaled the fence of their home to gain access to the 13-year-old’s room and commit the heinous crime.
The spokesperson for the state command, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident and stated that Onayemi had been arrested.
“However, on June 9, 2024, the suspect was caught committing the crime after he had jumped over the fence of the house. Our men swung into action immediately after the matter was reported.
“The suspect was also believed to be attending the same church that the survivor attends every Sunday. He confessed to the crime after we arrested him.”
In September 2023, Punch Metro reported a similar incident involving a 43-year-old teacher, Joshua Olufemi, from the Heritage Group of Schools in Ofada Town, Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, who allegedly assaulted a 13-year-old male pupil.
Olufemi was believed to have been allegedly having carnal knowledge of the minor through the pupil’s anus no fewer than six times at different times inside his room before his arrest.
