Operatives from the Ogun State Police Command have detained 55-year-old Hassan Wasiu for allegedly defiling his neighbour’s 13-year-old daughter in the Sagamu region of the state.
The incident was allegedly committed by the 55-year-old Wasiu after luring the victim inside his room on Falowo Street in Makun.
According to Omolola Odutola, the Police Public Relations Officer, the suspect is reported to have committed the crime on August 26, 2024.
She said that soon after that, the 55-year-old man attacked the girl, Bimbo Ojo and the victim’s grandpa, who had noticed his granddaughter was bleeding from her vagina and had reported the matter to the Sagamu Police Division.
According to PPRO:
“The grandfather reported the incident on September 2, 2024. It is alleged that the suspect lured the minor to his room on August 26, 2024, with the intention of sexual assault, resulting in the minor bleeding profusely.
“When the matter was reported, our team quickly took action and apprehended the 55-year-old suspect. Although he has denied the allegations, the investigation is ongoing.
The case will soon be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department.”
