The incident happened on Monday after school hours.
Our
correspondent gathered on Wednesday that the proprietor, identified as
Mr. Tunde Ibitoye, picked the girl and another pupil of the same school
and was taking them home in his car when he stopped at a deserted place
and went into the bush pretending to be defecating.
An
eyewitness, who said he caught the suspect in the act, said some minutes
after the man went inside the bush, he called the victim to bring him
tissue to clean up.
The eyewitness, who identified himself as
Kayode Ayeni, said he became curious when he saw the girl going inside
the bush knowing full well that a man had first gone into the bush some
minutes earlier.
He said he traced the girl’s movement and found
the man half Unclad and the girl also undressed and was in a
compromising position.
Ayeni claimed that the proprietor was having carnal knowledge of the girl when he found the two of them inside the bush.
The
argument between the eyewitness and the proprietor was said to have
attracted a crowd of passersby and residents to the scene.
The suspect was said to have been beaten up and escaped being lynched due to the arrival of some policemen at the scene.
The policemen, who stormed the scene,dispersed the crowd and took the suspect away.
When
contacted, the state command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Mr.
Victor Babayemi, said Ibitoye had been arrested for “defiling an
11-year-old pupil,” adding that the suspect was currently being
interrogated by the police
The PPRO said the girl told police investigators that the proprietor Were Intimate with her.
He added that the girl confessed that the last act was the fourth time the proprietor would be Being Intimate with her.
He
also said the girl’s father told the police that there was a time he
noticed blood stain on his daughter’s clothes but the man thought it was
early menstruation.
The proprietor, however, insisted that he
did not Be Intimate with the girl but was just assisting her home after
the school hours.
But Babayemi said the girl had been taken to a
hospital for medical examination, saying the result would be made public
when it was out.
Babayemi said, “There is a man in our custody
who was said to be caught while Being Intimate with an 11-year-old
pupil. The girl has been taken to hospital for examination and we are
expecting the result.
“We are investigating to see if we can find
other girls who the man might have defiled. If we find any, it would
further corroborate the allegation. But we advise parents to alway
ensure that their children are put in custody of responsible people.”
