The Lagos State Police Command's unrelentless war against sex offenders
yielded results with the arrest of two sex predators. A statement from
the state police command spokesperson, Chike Oti, says the first case
involving one Mukaila Aliu, 40, of No.17 Peluola Street, Mafoluku,
Oshodi, who took advantage of a 16-year-old physically challenged girl
child (deaf and dumb), more than a year ago, precisely on November 10,
2017 and had been on the run ever since. The said Mukaila Aliu had on
the aforementioned date, at Oshodi, allegedly lured the survivor by
pretending he was going to buy Indomie noodles for her hence she
unsuspectingly followed him to an abandoned shop along Oshodi road where
he defiled her. Although he was caught in the act, he managed to escape
and remained in the hiding until on the 19/11/2018 when he came out of
hiding to challenge a property developer at a site in Oshodi demanding
some fees with menaces from the property owner, claiming to be an
'Omoonile'. He was however identified by one of the workers at the site
as a suspect on the wanted list of the police. The worker sneaked out
and alerted the Divisional Police Officer, Makinde Police Station, who
promptly arrested him and handed him over to the Gender Section of the
Command for further investigation. The second case involves one Chika
Okafor, 39, of No. 3/16 Oketa Street, Mende-Maryland who on 17/10/18,
lured a 15-year-old girl who ran away from home because her mum
threatened to beat her up for losing an important item. He got her into
his car and took her to a beer parlour where he convinced her to take
some liquor. Being her first time to indulge in such habit, the little
girl was completely knocked out after guzzling several bottles of
alcoholic drinks. The suspect, seeing the state of of the survivor, took
her to a hotel at Oshodi. At this point, the little girl whom he had
completely undressed told him to let her be because she is a virgin but
he still went ahead and shaved her pubic hair, deflowered her and went
away with the shaved hair.The following morning being 18/10/2018, the
suspect took her to his friend's place in Maryland and had his way with
her the second time. He thereafter took the survivor in his car and
dropped her at the nearest location to her parents' house.The girl
narrated her ordeal to her mum and she immediately petitioned the state
Commissioner of Police, CP Imohimi Edgal who ordered a manhunt against
the perpetrator. The suspect was however arrested on Saturday, November
24, 2018 by detectives attached to the Gender Unit of the Command.
