At a time nerves are rising over swelling rape incidents in Nigeria, a 75-year-old man, Jacob Ayinla, has been arrested for defiling a 15-year-old girl in Osun State.
The girl, said to be hawking a local drink called Pito, was said to have been lured by Ayinla, under the pretense that he wanted to by the juice.
According to reports, immediately she entered his house in Olowo, Osogbo, the man forcefully defiled her.
Reports quote a source as saying, “The girl always hawks the Pito around in our area but it is unfortunate that the girl was deceived by the old man and raped. The girl is living at No 10 Aresa area, Osogbo with her relative who produces the local juice for her to hawk every day.
“After the incident she reported the issue to the police station, informing them of what Ayinla has done to her.” a source said
Spokesperson of the state police command, Yemisi Opalola, has also confirmed the incident, noting:
“Our men swung into action and arrested him in his house and we have taken the victim to Police Hospital for a medical test.’
The incident happened on Wednesday, the same day the Women Affairs Minister, Paulin Tallen, blamed the spike in rape on lockdown.
