The Edo State Police Command yesterday paraded 46 suspected armed
robbers, cultists and child defilers, including a 60-year-old man who
defiled a 13-year-old girl.
The State Police Commissioner, Funso
Adebanjo disclosed that some of the items recovered from the suspects
included 20 guns, 192 live cartridges, 9 cars and 12 cutlasses.
“Early
this month, we paraded 68 suspected criminals and today we are parading
46 suspected criminals made up of armed robbers, kidnappers and people
involved in rape, defilement of minors and people waging war against
communities.
“These people were rounded up from different parts of the state. The
command remains grateful to the people of the state for their support so
far. We all must collaborate with the police and I am happy Edo is the
safest state in the South-South. But we are worried about old men
defiling little children, we must kick against that in our society.
“Honestly,
the situation is worrisome and those of them who are involved in it
must be dealt with. If it is a curse we will clear it from their heads
because their action for me, is madness” he stated.
The 60 year-old Edekin Ojaogbe, who defiled a 13-year-old girl, admitted to his crime.
“I
was at home when this girl went to the toilet. I called her and told
her that I need her. She now came to me, we entered my room and I locked
the door and the window and I slept with her.
“It was later when I went to mould block that I was told that policemen from Afuze came to arrest me.
“My people begged the girl’s parents but they were angry. I have slept with her three times because I love the small girl.
“I was married, but I am not with my wife anymore. I have three children,” he admitted.
