Alhaji
Ganiyu who is a hunter and a night guard was recently arrested for defiling a
seven-year-old primary one pupil, (name withheld) inside his one room apartment
after luring her with biscuit. He was arrested by men of the Nigeria Security
and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), after the victim’s mother rushed to the
security agency for help.
Giving his statement, Ganiyu
admitted to the crime saying his actions were carried out so he’d live
longer, adding that he regrets all his actions. “I slept with young girls
to elongate my stay on earth. That is all I need to extend my stay. It was not
for ritual or money making as people think. All the same, I regret my actions,”
he said. Meanwhile, parents and relatives in the area are now calling for
thorough and prompt investigations into the suspect with a view to bringing him
to book.
According to Daddy Fash, uncle of
another defiled girl, he suspect needed to be brought to book to serve as
deterrent to other unknown defilers. Another complainant said, “My daughter had
once been a victim of this man and no one could say anything because the man is
highly diabolical. His antics are well known to the people of the area but no
one dared confront him. It is now that the whole world has seen what we
have been suffering in silence over for a long time”.
The spokesman for the NSCDC in the
state said that full investigation into the crime had commenced while efforts
are on to apprehend the Alhaji Ganiyu’s accomplice who is now at large.
