The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Osun Command, has arrested four suspects who allegedly raped two young girls in the state.
The suspects S. Opyemi, 30 , Afiz Olalekan 26, Ismail Ibraheem 30 and Abduahi Garrba 33, were arrested on Dec. 3 in Iwo, Iwo Local Government Area of the state.
The NSCDC Commandant in Osun, Mr Igbalawole Sotiyo, while parading the suspects on Thursday in Osogbo, said that the suspects defiled the two minors who were 13 years of age respectively.
Sotiyo said that the suspects lured the girls with N500 and slept with them on many occasions.
The corps commandant said that the perpetrators confessed to the crime.
Sotiyo, who noted that the girls were living with their grandparents, said that they fell to the tactics of the suspects while looking for survival.
“These minors are living with their grandparents but have not been well taken care of.
“It was in the course of looking for survival that they were abused by the four suspects.
“Discreet investigation revealed that the suspects committed the crime.
“I want to assure members of the public that the perpetrators of this offence will be made to face the full wrath of the law to serve as a deterrent to other criminally minded people in the society,” he said.
The suspects while speaking with newsmen admitted that they actually slept with the girls at different times and places after giving money.
