A 65-year-old man, Sulaiman Rauf, has been arrested by Ogun State
Police Command for having carnal knowledge of a 10-year-old girl (name

The arrest of the suspect followed a complaint lodged by the
father of the victim, Fahinhun Mathew, who reported at Idi-roko divisional
headquarters that the suspect who is living in their neighbourhood sent his
daughter on an errand, and when the girl came back, she was lured into his room
where he forcefully had sex with her.
According to a Statement signed by the state, Police Public
Relations Officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, “When the girl came out of the
suspect's room, she quickly informed her father of what the suspect has just
done to her, hence the report. Upon the report, the DPO Idi-roko Division CSP

the suspect resides and he was promptly arrested.
“On interrogation, the randy old man admitted having carnal
