Police in Ipaja-Ayobo area of Lagos
State have arrested a man who allegedly defiled eight children. He is now
being detained, awaiting arraignment in court.
The suspect, Mr. Temitope Alo was arrested on Saturday Sept 15th at Koloba area
of Ayobo after the children allegedly confessed that he had raped them.
The eight victims, whose ages range
from 8 to 15 years were brought to the Lagos State Ministry of Women Affairs
and Poverty Alleviation, WAPA yesterday Sept. 17th by the Vice Chairman,
Ipaja-Ayobo Local Council Development Area, LCDA, Alhaja Falilat Ajijola to enable the state government to take over
the case.
The alleged rapist said he works for
a newspaper company (name withheld) in Lagos and lured the children to his
apartment where he defiled them and threatened to kill them if they reported
the matter.
Tests conducted on the eight children
at the Ayobo-Ipaja Primary Health Centre, PHC, showed that the children had
been defiled.
A top official of the WAPA Ministry
told PMNews that the ministry had been handling rape cases but they
had never recorded a case where a man serially raped eight children.
According to the Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA
Vice Chairman, Ajijola, last week a
case of rape was reported to the Neighbourhood Watch office at the council
but when enquiries were made, the traditional ruler of Koloba was said to
have denied that such a thing happened in his area.
She said a few days later, the former
council chairman of Ayobo-Ipaja, Bisi
Yusuf reported that the incident actually happened and that further
investigation traced the rape case to the culprit, who was promptly arrested.
Ajijola
added
that the traditional ruler, Chief
Babayanju, later opened up and admitted that the story was true, while
eight children came forward to report that they were allegedly raped by Alo.
Acting Director, Child Development,
WAPA Ministry, Mrs Mosunmola Dada said the issue was disgusting, adding
that such a man must be a paedophile and vowed that the government would ensure
that he was prosecuted.
“We have evidences against him. The
Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA has a medical report on this case. We will monitor and follow
up this case,” she said.
The suspect, in his statement at the
Ayobo Police Station, was said to have admitted that he raped some children,
but that he only raped four and not eight.
PMNews could not get to him as
he was in custody of the police, while the Divisional Police Officer, DPO
of the station was not around for comments.
