A woman and her son are currently in the custody of Ekiti State Police Command over an alleged abduction and sexual molestation of a 15-year-old girl.
The suspects, Adewumi Ademiloye and, his mother, Felicia, allegedly abducted and sexually molestated the victim for three years.
Relations of the victim had been searching for her after she left home in March 2019 for an extra mural class in preparation for the West Africa Examination Council examination.
The Spokesman of the Police Command, Sunday Abutu, in a statement, explained that the teenager’s parents reported the case to the police, but all efforts to locate her proved abortive until a few days ago.
The statement explained:
“However, on 15/3/2022, that is, about three(3) years later, the victim’s mother received a credible information about her daughter’s whereabouts.
“She then alerted the Command’s Juvenile Welfare Center (JWC) of the State CID who then swung into action and traced the missing girl to the house of one Mrs Ademiloye Felicia.
“The victim was, immediately, rescued while Mrs Ademiloye Felicia and her son, Adewumi Ademiloye, were subsequently arrested for further investigation.
Abutu disclosed that investigations revealed that the victim was, allegedly, lured by Adewumi into his mother’s house and subsequently drugged.
The victim further told the Police that she could not go back home after consuming the drugs given to her and became a drug addict.
On sexual exploitation, the spokesman stated further, “According to the victim, Adewumi Ademiloye had series of sexual intercourse with her and has given her to different men on many occasions each time he does not have money who had sex with her and paid Adewumi Ademiloye an amount ranging from ten thousand naira (N10,000) to twenty thousand naira (N20,000).
“Further investigation revealed that the victim is about eight months pregnant, but has not been registered in any Heath Care Centre or visited any hospital for Antenatal Care.”
The Command said Adewumi has confessed to commiting the crime and would be charged to court alongside his mother for conspiracy to wit: abduction, rape and child exploitation.
Meanwhile, the victim has been taken to Ekiti State Sexual Assault Referral Centre, Ado-Ekiti, for medical attention.
