A 24-year-old young man identified  as Akinbode Ridwan, a native of Oyo State has been arrested by Operatives of Anti- Human Trafficking and Gender Unit of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps ( NSCDC ) for raping  15 year old girl  in an uncompleted building,

The suspect who resided  in Bariga Lagos lured the victim  to uncompleted building about two years ago, before he went to make another attempt on her in October, this year 2022, again, which finally led to his arrest by the operatives.

According to  Lagos State Command Public Relations Officer,  DSC Abolurin Oluwaseun, the  suspected paedophile was arrested, following due diligence, credible and actionable intelligence taken on him, by the Command’s personnel, since the matter was reported to them  in the last one week.

He said that the Anti – human and Gender Unit, of the Command, through its significant relationships, with Non – Governmental Organizations ( NGOs ), Human Right bodies and other relevant institutions, was able to partner with Women Against Rape International Foundation ( WARIF ), to conduct medical examination on the victim, in a bid to intensify investigations, bring the culprit to book and to teach other unrepentant perpetrators of this heinous and highly abominable crime a good lesson of their life .

“The NSCDC, Lagos State Commandant, Commandant of Corps ( CC ) Edenabu Okoro Eweka, frowned at the unholy sexual entanglement and has ordered that the suspected culprit should be handed over to the appropriate agency of government for further investigation and prosecution in accordance with the law,”  he stated.
