Men of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, known as Amotekun Corps, have arrested a 42-year-old man, Michael Chinedu, over the alleged defilement of a nine-year-old girl in the state.
According to the Commander of Amotekun in the state, Adetunji Adeleye, the suspect, a father of three, lured the underage girl to his room and had carnal knowledge of her.
Adetunji, who disclosed that the incident happened at the Oke-Ijebu axis of Akure metropolis, the state capital, stated that Chinedu tied the legs and hands of the adolescent before committing the crime.
Meanwhile, Chinedu, who denied raping the young girl, said he did not penetrate but only inserted his finger into her private parts.
While parading the suspect at the headquarters of the corps in the state, the commander also disclosed that two persons who were abducted by suspected kidnappers in Oke-Oge community in Akure North Local Government Area of the state had been rescued.
The victims, Monday John and Daisi Oloye, were said to have been attacked and dragged away from the village into the forest by gunmen.
The Amotekun Commander, however, said the suspects would be arraigned before the court after the conclusion of the investigation.
