'He deflowered me by force' - Tricycle rider abducts girl, 15, in Lagos
The
operatives of Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of Lagos State Police Command have
apprehended a tricycle rider, popularly called, "Keke Marwa", for
allegedly abducting a 15 - year old girl and turning her into sex slave.
The suspect, Dada Azeez,
28, abducted Bukunmi on October 5 while on errand for her aunt in Agege
area before the RRS operatives rescued her on October 21th, 2016 from his
hideout in Agege.
The alleged abduction of
the girl was disclosed by her sister, Mrs Gbemisola, who stated that the girl
was abducted with a sum of N58,000:00 meant for her thrift contribution.
The suspect, after weeks
of lodging in several locations to evade arrest, was eventually nabbed by the
operatives at his residence at 7, Oseni Street, Danjuma Cinema area, Agege with
the girl in his one room apartment.
Confessing to the crime,
the suspect disclosed that he wooed the girl when she was 14 years old at her
sister' shop in Agege. "We started having secret affair about a year ago.
But her sister frowned at our relationship when she got to know.
Unknown to her, we were
still seeing each other. In order to be having regular conversation with her, I
bought a mobile phone for her and instructed her to hide it from her sister.
So, whenever she intended coming to meet me, she will call and I will describe
our meeting point for her".
He added "then I
thought if she could elope with me that would be better for us. I started
working on her psyche and deceiving her with some material things".
"I was able to
perpetrate the crime when her sister sent her on errand on one Sunday afternoon.
However, I didn't know she was with such amount of money. I just wanted to take
her far away from her guardian for not supporting our relationship", he
revealed.
Narrating her ordeal,
Bukunmi noted that the suspect forcefully deflowered her, adding that, he
turned her to a sex slave.
According to her,"
he forced himself on me the very first day I visited him at his residence. Ever
since, he has been having sex with me without wearing condom.
He slept with me
anywhere and even at his friends' place where he hid me for weeks. I succumbed
to him because I couldn’t go back home".
She said that the
suspect collected the N58,000:00 her sister gave her. "He fed me thrice a
day probably from that thrift contribution money", she added.
The victim, who looked
pale when he was arrested, said that, she eloped with him out of ignorance.
Also arrested along with
him, was one of his friends, Wasiu Agunbiade, who aided the abduction by
accommodating the suspect and the teenager in his one-room apartment in Agege.
He said that he only
accommodated them for a night, adding that he never knew he abducted the little
girl.
"If I had known the
girl was abducted, I would have advised him to return her to her parents. I
never believed he could commit such crime.
He begged me to
accommodate them for one night with her in my room, stressing, “he left my
place the following day to somewhere else. I regretted allowing them to pass
the night in my place".
In her reaction, sister
of the abducted girl, who was so elated upon seeing her niece, said that the
family will take her to hospital for medical check-up.
While confirming the
incident, the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Superintendent of
Police, SP Dolapo Badmus, warned parents and guardians against exposing their
wards and children to social vices around their environment.
The suspect, friend and
the abducted girl have been transferred to the Divisional Police Office in
Agege where the case was initially reported before RRS operatives took it up
and rescued the girl.
