48-Year-Old Man Defiles 10-Year-Old Girl In Abuja
BY EDMOND ODOK – The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested a 48-year-old man, Adekola Adeshina, for allegedly defiling his neighbour’s 10-year-old daughter in Abuja.
This is as the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, Sadiq Abubakar, challenged parents and guardians to closely watch the behavioural patterns of their children and wards around some individuals, especially adults within their immediate environment
The Command’s spokesperson, Superintendent of Police (SP) Josephine Adeh, who disclosed this in a press statement made available to journalists in Abuja on Sunday, said the suspect was arrested based on a complaint lodged by the victim’s mother.
According to the statement; “Operatives of the FCT Police Command attached to the Apo Divisional Police Headquarters, at about 10.15 am on March 22, 2023, received a complaint from a woman (name withheld) living close to Prince and Princess Estate.
“She complained that she was suspecting her neighbour, Adekola Adeshina, a 48-year-old male, of sexually engaging her 10-year-old daughter (name also withheld). The suspect, shortly after being arrested and interrogated, voluntarily elected in a written statement to have carried out the dastardly act severally.”
SP Adeh explained that the 10-year-old victim is currently undergoing medical examination, while the suspect remains in police custody and will be dragged to court upon the conclusion of the investigation.
The Command’s image maker further quoted the FCT Police Commissioner, Sadiq Abubakar, as urging parents and guardians to pay special attention to their wards’ welfare and ensure that measures are in place to shield them against sexual crimes by some perverted individuals in the society.
