A report by PUNCH Metro on September 3, 2024, detailed an incident in which a 55-year-old man, Hassan Wasiu, allegedly defiled his neighbour’s 13-year-old daughter at his apartment on Falowo Street, Makun, in the Sagamu area of the state.
The survivor’s grandfather, Bimbo Ojo, who reported the incident to the Sagamu Police Division, had found that his granddaughter was bleeding through her vagina shortly after the perpetrator had committed the crime.
The suspect had allegedly lured the survivor into going into his room to defile her.
