The victim, in an interview at the office of the Ondo state security outfit codenamed Amotekun, said that the suspect sent her an errand and when she returned, locked her up in the room and d3filed her.

Speaking in the presence of the suspect who was paraded alongside 17 other suspected criminals, the victim, said ”Daddy sent me to go and buy soap, when I came back and handed the soap over to daddy, he refused to collect it and asked me to go drop it on the table inside his room.

”The next thing I noticed was that the door was suddenly shut and I saw Daddy.

“He grabbed me from behind and tied my hand and legs with cloth and stuffed another cloth inside my mouth.

” I struggled with daddy but he removed my pant and d3filed me.”

In response, the suspect who denied r3ping the young girl said he did not penetrate but only inserted his finger into her private part.

“There was a joint operation involving men of the 32 Artillery Brigade, the Nigeria Police, the NSCDC and the Amotekun Corps.

“This involves an 18-passenger bus and to the glory of God, we were also able, without payment of any ransom, secure the release of 16 victims and most of their properties that were littered, were put together and delivered to them and have since, reunited with their families.”

Among the paraded suspects were; armed robbers, kidnappers, cultists, and a group specialized in snatching and dismantling motorcycles among others.
