The Nigeria Security Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) Ondo state command said it arrested one Mr Nweke Peter, 35, an okada rider for sodomising 15 years old boy around Willy Bright, Elewa junction, Abusoro, Ijoka road, Akure.
The collective effort of the community yielded to the arrest of the suspect whose strange movement was observed around his residence on daily basis.
“Nweke Peter will always lure his victim from school to his house and return the victim to the victim’s house of close proximity about 1800hours daily.” The neighbours noticed this trend and reported to the landlord.
On Thursday, July 6, the suspect was caught in the act, molesting the child but ran away. Luck however ran out on him on Tuesday, July 11, 2023 as the suspect was apprehended by the victim’s uncle and handed over to the NSCDC command.
NSCDC Public Relations Officer, Daniel Aidamenbor said the suspect contravened sections 31(1)(2) of Ondo State Child Right Law 2007 and section 3(1)(a)(b)(c) of the State Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law 2021, and will be charged to court accordingly after the conclusion of investigations
