An Arabic and Islamic teacher, 38 years old Ismaila Saheed, and one 20 years old Toliha Sabith have been arrested by the police in Ogun State defiling a 15years old girl (name withheld).
According to the spokesman of the Ogun State Police Command, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspects were apprehended following a report by the victim of their devilish act.
The victim reported at the Redeemed Camp police station that Toliha Sabith forcefully had carnal knowledge of her on the 25th of August 2020 at Imedunla area of Mowe and she went to her Arabic and Islamic teacher to inform him.
She said after listening to her ordeal, the Arabic teacher, Ismaila Saheed, told her that she might have got pregnant as a result of the incident and he offered to help her remove the said pregnancy.
But surprisingly, instead of removing the imaginary pregnancy, he took the advantage to also have carnal knowledge of her, after which he inserted a sharp object into her private part causing her a serious vaginal injury.
Upon the report, the DPO of the police division, SP Bala Yakubu, detailed his detectives to go after the two suspects and they were both apprehended on the 28th of August 2020.
They were said to have confessed to committing the crime.
The victim has been admitted in hospital for proper medical attention.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Edward A. Ajogun, has directed that the two suspects who he described as animals in human skin be transferred to anti-human trafficking and child labour unit of the state criminal investigation and intelligence department for further investigation and deligent prosecution.
The CP appealed to parents to always be concerned about the well being of their children, especially the female ones so as not to make them easy prey for the predators in human skin.
