The Police Command in Oyo State has arrested a 49-year-old man over the alleged defilement of a 13-year-old girl at Molade area, Iwo road in Ibadan North East Local Government Area of the state.

The Command's Public Relations Officer, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka, in a statement made available to newsmen on Friday in Ibadan, said that the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for thorough investigation.

Olayinka said that the girl's guardian reported the incident to the police on Thursday at 8:50 p.m. after noticing changes of sexual nature in the minor.

According to him, the survivor had disclosed to her guardian upon gentle questioning that she had been sexually abused by the suspect in 2022 while living with her mother at Molade area of Ibadan.

"Upon receipt of the report, preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect allegedly committed the offence during that period.

"This disclosure provided the basis for immediate medical intervention to establish the facts of the case, consequently, the minor was taken to the hospital for medical examination," he said.

The PPRO said that findings at the hospital confirmed sexual abuse of the survivor and strengthened the case against the suspect, who has been detained in custody.

Olayinka assured the public that the State Commissioner of Police, Femi Haruna had assured of diligent prosecution of the case.

He quoted Haruna as appealing to residents in the state to remain vigilant and report any incidents of sexual abuse to the police.(NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
