The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Oyo State Command, has arrested a man suspected of defiling his 11-year-old daughter in Ibadan.

The NSCDC spokesperson in the state, Oyindamola Okuneye, disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Ibadan.

Ms Okuneye said the 33-year-old suspect, who hailed from Ede in Osun, resides in the Olodo area of Ibadan.

According to the NSCDC spokesperson, the man has admitted to having carnal knowledge of the girl.

Meanwhile, the command has also arrested a 46-year-old suspect who allegedly defiled a 10-year-old girl.

She said that the suspect took the victim to a lonely road with his bike within the Alakia area of Ibadan on January 15, where he used his finger to penetrate and defile her.

“It was gathered that the suspect used to go to the girl’s mother’s shop to drink locally made herbs and used the opportunity to get closer to the girl,” Ms Okuneye said.

Ms Okuneye said the state NSCDC commandant, Michael Adaralewa, pledged that the two suspects would be charged to court after the completion of the investigation.

He urged residents to support security agencies with information on the violation of children anywhere in the state.
