A tutor, Femi Onayemi, has been arrested for allegedly defiling a 13-year-old girl (name withheld) in the Obada-Oko area of Ogun State, Nigeria.
The suspect was arrested by operatives of the Ogun State Police Command.
Onayemi had earlier been hired by the girl’s parents to tutor her at their home in the community in 2023.
The suspect had also been attending the same church with the minor before the crime was committed.
It was learnt that the victim’s parents were shocked when the suspect allegedly scaled the fence of their home to gain further access to the 13-year-old’s room and commit the heinous crime.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Omolola Odutola, who confirmed the incident stated that Onayemi had been arrested.
“The parents of the minor approached our division at Obada Oko on June 12, 2024, to report the incident.
“The suspect was employed in 2023 to help the survivor with her studies at home.
“However, on June 9, 2024, the suspect was caught committing the crime after he had jumped over the fence of the house.
“Our men swung into action immediately after the matter was reported.
“The suspect was also believed to be attending the same church that the survivor attends every Sunday. He confessed to the crime after we arrested him.”
