Mr Tope Daisi, a 28yr-old Okada rider has been arrested by the police in Oyo State on allegations of defiling a five year old girl. He allegedly gave her N5 as ‘payment’ which the young girl used to buy sweet after the act.
In an interview with the victim, Sekinat (not real name), it emerged that though the act was committed on Tuesday, August 27, Seki’s grandmother, Madam Khadijat Kolapo went to the police station on Wednesday, August 28.
She explained to the police how her neighbour, Daisi, lured her granddaughter to his room when she went out and left the girl at home.
The man, according to the girl’s grandmother, stripped the girl of her clothes and defiled her, after which he gave her N5 and warned her to keep sealed lips.
The little girl however could not keep the experience and the money she earned from her seven-year-old cousin, Afusat (not real name), as she told her that Brother Tope did ’ashewo’(prostituted with) to her.
Immediately their grandmother returned home, Afusat told her what happened and said that they had already used the money to buy sweet.
The Divisional Police officer in charge of the station, Olawole Ayoola, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, reportedly ordered the suspect’s arrest but when interviewed, he denied the allegation, though he could not explain why he was the one pointed at among other men in the neighbourhood.
When the girl was taken to a hospital for medical examination, the report indicated bruises in the vaginal area though the hymen was still intact.
Narrating her experience in her childish voice, Sekinat said: “I was outside and he (Daisi) came to take from our house to his room. He spread a mat on the floor, removed my pants and his trousers.
“He lay on me, held the thing that is used to urinate and put it in my private part. After he finished, he warned me not to tell anybody. He then gave me N5 and I used it to buy sweet.”
In an interview, the Ijebu-Ode-born suspect who disclosed that he was also a footballer said he was surprised that the girl pointed at him.
According to him, “on the fateful day, I was at Eleyele area of the city where I normally go around 5a.m. to issue tickets to okada riders. My football club also had a match at Olubadan Stadium by 2pm. We were told to report by 1.30p.m.
“So, at noon, I went home on my bike to prepare. As I was coming, I saw some children playing with sand and one of them ran across, in front of the bike.
“I stopped and beat her but some bystanders said I should thank God that I didn’t hit the girl. I went home to have a shower and left for the stadium. In the evening, I went back to okada park and returned home around 9pm.
“I was surprised when the girl’s grandmother came to me on Wednesday, August 28 and held on to my shirt, saying that her granddaughter informed her that I took her in, removed her pants and put my organ in her private parts. I told her it was not true but she did not listen.”
