A man in his 30’s is currently under investigation for defiling his neighbour’s 4-year-old son (names withheld) inside his apartment after the minor returned from school.The suspect, Prince Ovivare, according to reports is now being questioned by officers at the Aguda Divisional Police Station, Lagos State over the allegations leveled against him.According to the victim’s mother, her suspicion was raised when her son emerged from Prince’s room claiming the suspect put his “”wee wee inside my bum bum”.
According to the victim’s mother, “normally, my son stays in the Headteacher’s house after school, when I am not through with my work. So when we came home, I gave him food and bathed him. After sometime he said ‘mummy I want to go outside and play’. Since I was still busy with cleaning, I allowed him.“After sometime, when I did not hear his voice, I came outside and shouted his name. He ran out from a neighbour’s room. I asked him what he was doing there. He said Brother Prince was kissing him and put his wee wee inside his bum bum. I checked my son and he had some bruises on his buttocks.“I rushed to Aguda Police Station. They took my statement, asked my son questions and he kept repeating the same thing. Then police referred me to Mirabel Centre at Ikeja Teaching Hospital.
“The next morning, I took my son to Ikeja and the doctors did some tests. After examining him, they confirmed he was indeed assaulted.“At the hospital, they gave me some drugs and said they should make sure that the suspect is arrested. I went back to the station and came with police to arrest him. “I want relevant agencies to come to my help for justice.I need justice for this wickedness done to my child. My son is traumatised. He told me the suspect said he would kill him (my son) if he told me.“I have not been able to sleep for days now. I cannot even eat. How could this human being be this wicked?” The woman who lives alone with her son lamented.According to information made available by Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, SP Dolapo Badmos, further prosecution will be served the suspect as soon as the result from Mirabel Centre where the minor is being tested is released.
