Adeyemi Dairo, 27, a cobbler living in Ibadan,Oyo state has been arrested by the police for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl.
Reports say Dairo, an indigene of Eruwa town
in Oyo, forcefully had sex with the victim (names withheld) at his shoe
repair shop on August 21, 2014.
The suspect, however, claims the rape allegations are false describing the young girl as his girlfriend.
According to Tribune reports, Dairo asked the
victim to help him take a bench to his room. As a mark of respect, the
girl did as the cobbler requested but her decision was at a cost as she
lost her virginity. Crime Reports learnt that the suspect allegedly
followed the girl into the room, tied a cloth across her mouth to
prevent her from shouting and tore her underwear before having his way.
He later threatened to organize a gang rape
if the victims dares to tell anyone about what happened. The girl was
said to have complied until her mother noticed her awkward movement few
days after. She confessed to her mother and the case was reported
immediately at the Eleyele Police Station.
