A 65-year old man who was arrested for using an 11-year-old girl as his sex slave for several days, has blamed his actions on the young girl.
The suspect, Mr Akinlolu Ogunlade, was arrested by the Anti-Kidnapping Squad of the Oyo State Police Command over the abduction and defilement of an 11-year-old Primary Two pupil, simply identified as Bisi.
Disclosing the suspect’s arrest to journalists on Thursday, June 9, the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Leye Oyebade, described Ogunlade as a serial rapist who abducted young girls, kept them in his house and turned them to sex slaves.
However, the suspect reportedly claims to have been pressured into sex by the young girl, which led him to keep her as his sex slave for four days.
Mr Ogunlade claims to have rejected many invitations from the young girl, before he finally gave in.
He said: “I am 65 yrs old and I work as a plumber. I was arrested at Akobo area. The little girl came over to me and started disturbing me to have sex with her and I told her that she was too small. I told her she could not do something of such but she replied by telling me that she could do it.
“I thereafter had sex with her two times and kept her in my custody just for four days.”
The suspect will be charged to court soon.
