According to report, the suspect, Dada Azeez, 28, had abducted Kabirat on October 5 while on errand for her aunt in Agege area of Lagos before she was rescued on October 21th, 2016.
The alleged abduction of the girl was disclosed by her sister, Mrs Gbemisola, who told the operatives that the girl was abducted with a sum of N58,000 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.
While confessing, Azeez said he wooed the girl when she was 14 years old at her sister’ shop in Agege before they started to date secretly but her sister did not like it.
“We started having secret affair about a year ago. But her sister frowned at our relationship when she got to knows.” he claimed.
He continued: “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 would 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.”
Narrating her ordeal, Ibukun (not real name) 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 added.
She said that the suspect collected the N58,000 her sister gave her. “He fed me thrice a day probably from that thrift contribution money”, she added.
The victim, who looked pale when she was rescued, 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. He left my place the following day to somewhere else. I regretted allowing them to pass the night in my place.”
In her reaction, the sister of the abducted girl, who was so elated upon seeing her niece, said that the family would take her to the hospital for medical check-up.
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.
