Teenager arrested for def!ling three year old in Oyo

Operatives of the Oyo State Police Command have arrested a 17-year-old male, Usman Dauda, for allegedly def!ling a 3-year-old girl in Saki.

His arrest was effected after a distress report was lodged at the Saki Divisional Station on September 17, after the child went missing while being retrieved from school earlier that afternoon. A localized search subsequently led to her recovery along the roadside in a state of distress, where preliminary inquiries revealed that the suspect had forcefully taken her into his apartment to commit the heinous act.

Prompted by this revelation, detectives swiftly visited and secured the scene of the crime, resulting in the immediate arrest of the suspect and the recovery of critical physical evidence linked to the offense.

While investigations were immediately activated, the young survivor was promptly rushed to a medical facility in Saki, where she is currently receiving comprehensive clinical treatment and psychotherapeutic care.

The case has been transferred to the Gender Desk State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku, Ibadan, for exhaustive investigation and prosecution.
