The suspect, Dada Azeez, 28, abducted Bukunmi on October 5
while on errand for her aunt in Agege area before the RRS operatives
rescued her on October 21th, 2016 from his hideout in Agege.
The alleged abduction of the girl was disclosed by her
sister, Mrs Gbemisola, who stated that the girl was abducted with a sum
of N58,000:00 meant for her thrift contribution.
The suspect, after weeks of lodging in several locations to
evade arrest, was eventually nabbed by the operatives at his residence
at 7, Oseni Street, Danjuma Cinema area, Agege with the girl in his one
room apartment.
Confessing to the crime, the suspect disclosed that he
wooed the girl when she was 14 years old at her sister' shop in Agege.
"We started having secret affair about a year ago. But her sister
frowned at our relationship when she got to know.
Unknown to her, we were still seeing each other. In order
to be having regular conversation with her, I bought a mobile phone for
her and instructed her to hide it from her sister. So, whenever she
intended coming to meet me, she will call and I will describe our
meeting point for her".
He added "then I thought if she could elope with me that
would be better for us. I started working on her psyche and deceiving
her with some material things".
"I was able to perpetrate the crime when her sister sent her on errand on one Sunday
afternoon. However, I didn't know she was with such amount of money. I
just wanted to take her far away from her guardian for not supporting
our relationship", he revealed.
Narrating her ordeal, Bukunmi noted that the suspect forcefully deflowered her, adding that, he turned her to a sex slave.
According to her," he forced himself on me the very first
day I visited him at his residence. Ever since, he has been having sex
with me without wearing condom.
He slept with me anywhere and even at his friends' place
where he hid me for weeks. I succumbed to him because I couldn’t go back
home".
She said that the suspect collected the N58,000:00 her
sister gave her. "He fed me thrice a day probably from that thrift
contribution money", she added.
The victim, who looked pale when he was arrested, said that, she eloped with him out of ignorance.
Also arrested along with him, was one of his friends, Wasiu
Agunbiade, who aided the abduction by accommodating the suspect and the
teenager in his one-room apartment in Agege.
He said that he only accommodated them for a night, adding that he never knew he abducted the little girl.
"If I had known the girl was abducted, I would have advised
him to return her to her parents. I never believed he could commit such
crime.
He begged me to accommodate them for one night with her in
my room, stressing, “he left my place the following day to somewhere
else. I regretted allowing them to pass the night in my place".
In her reaction, sister of the abducted girl, who was so
elated upon seeing her niece, said that the family will take her to
hospital for medical check-up.
While confirming the incident, the State Police Public
Relations Officer (PPRO) Superintendent of Police, SP Dolapo Badmus,
warned parents and guardians against exposing their wards and children
to social vices around their environment.
The suspect, friend and the abducted girl have been
transferred to the Divisional Police Office in Agege where the case was
initially reported before RRS operatives took it up and rescued the
girl
