The Ekiti State Police Command has arrested an 85-year old grandfather, Pa Samuel Oladipupo, for allegedly having carnal knowledge of a 12 year old girl Opeyemi (not real name)
The suspect who reportedly committed the crime last Sunday at his No. 9 Barrack Road, Ado Ekiti is presently being detained at the police headquarters.
However, during interrogation, the accused, admitted to have made an attempt to ‘sleep’ with the minor, who he claimed seduced him, but denied ever defiling the infant who is a Junior Secondary School student.
But the victim’s father, Mr. Ojo Ajijola, however refuted the claim of the suspect, saying that the man was guilty of the case.
The Police spokesperson, DSP Victor Babayemi Olu, said the victim had been taken to Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, where series of tests have been carried out on her to ascertain whether she was actually raped or not.
According to Pa Oladipupo, on that fateful day, he had sent the victim to buy him recharge card at a nearby phone booth and allowed her to go home after she had helped him to load it.
He said, “To let you know that I never intended to commit the crime, after she had helped me to load the recharge card on my phone right in my house, I allowed her to go without making any attempt”.
“But later, Esther resurfaced and came to tell me that she was famished and asked me what kind of food I had at home. I told her I only had bread and stew and she followed me inside and ate the food.
“After she finished with the food, she rested on the chair and then pulled off her clothes and told me to examine her pubic hairs. Later, she told me to examine her boobs and asked me why the two breasts were not the same, but I told her that it was natural to be so.
“As a man, I began to lose control. I then pushed her onto the bed and climbed on her.
But as I was about inserting my organ into hers, I quickly remembered that this might be a plan to frame me up and I quickly stood up, so I didn’t enter her”, Pa Oladipupo claimed.
On the contrary, Opeyemi denied ever seducing a man who is old enough to be her granddad.
She said, “I had earlier helped him to buy a recharge card, and he later accused me of stealing his phone”.
