The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), is currently investigating two men for allegedly defiling minors.
The suspects identified as Tunde Kareem, aged 38 and Amos Micheal aged, 46 were paraded at the command’s Agodi Ibadan, Headquarters on Monday.
NigeriaCrime.com learned that Tunde Kareem was arrested for defiling his 11-year-old daughter, while Amos Micheal was arrested for defiling a 10-year-old girl on January 15, 2023, by taking her to a lonely road with his bike in the vicinity and using his finger to penetrate her till she was defiled.
According to the state’s Public Relations Officer of the Corps, DSC Oyindamola Okuneye, the 38-year-old suspect Tunde Kareem, is from Ede, Osun State, a resident of Papa, Idi Osan Olodo road, Ibadan, while Amos Micheal is a native of Ikwo Local Government Abakaliki from Ebonyi state, but resides at Road 7 No. 5 Agbati Orire Olasan road, Alakia, Ibadan.
Okuneye explained that: “Amos used to go to the girl’s mother’s shop to drink locally made herbs and used the opportunity to get closer to the girl.”
“Tunde Kareem upon interrogation admitted to have had the carnal knowledge of his daughter once before his arrest on 17th January 2023,” Okuneye said.
She, however, said that the state Corps Commandant, CC
Adaralewa Micheal insisted that the corps will maintain its stand on zero tolerance for misuse of children and protection of girl children in the state.
Denying the allegations of having canal knowledge of his daughter, Tunde Kareem said this is the handiwork of my ex-wife, she is the one that reported me and levelled such allegation against me because she wanted the girl to be in her custody.”
“I didn’t rape her, she is my daughter, she is the one I am hustling for, this is a pure lie against me. I have remarried and I can’t leave my daughter for her.”
Amos Micheal, who was accused of defiling a minor, confessed to have touched the private part of the girl in question but denied raping her.
“I didn’t penetrate her as I was accused of, but I touched her. I took her to a private place to do that while taking her to her mother who sells local herbs for us.”
DSC Okuneye disclosed that: “Both suspects pleaded guilty to the offense committed and they would be charged to court immediately after the completion of our investigation.”
