One Adebomi Oke has been arrested by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), for defiling a four-year-old neighbour’s daughter in Ondo State.
The 29-year-old tailor said the devil pushed him to sexually abuse the little girl.
”I just moved into the one-room where the incident happened one month ago.
“It is true that I defiled my neighbour’s daughter. It was the devil that pushed me into committing the act.
“I am appealing to people, especially my family, to help me beg the girl’s mother not to be annoyed.
“And I pray that God to help me so that she can forgive me because I don’t want to go to prison,” he said.
Speaking on the arrest, Mr Hammed Abodunrin, Ondo State NSCDC Commandant, said that Oke was arrested on Adegoroye Street, Oshinle in Akure.
He explained that the NSCDC officers acted professionally by whisking away the suspect who was almost mobbed by some angry youth.
“From the extra-judicial statement of the suspect, he confessed that he sexually abused the minor,” Abodunrin said.
