Operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Kwara State Command, has arrested a 39-year-old man, Segun Oni, for allegedly defiling a 12-year-old girl in Igbaja area of the state.
The command’s spokesperson, Babawale Afolabi, in a statement said the suspect was arrested on Monday, June 14, 2021, after the victim’s grandfather reportedly caught the suspect in the act under a mango tree.
Afolabi stated that after a thorough investigation, it was discovered that the victim was suffering from congenital mental deficiency “which has impaired her communication and social skills. Literarily, she hardly talks to people.”

The suspect confessed that on several occasions he lured the young girl with gifts to isolated areas to take advantage of her, Afolabi added.
