A 19-year old boy, Damilare Olarewaju, has landed in trouble in Lagos State for allegedly luring a 15-year old girl into sex romp and thereafter administering blood oath on her not to leave or have sex with another man in her entire life.
PMEXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Abutu Street, by Elijah bus stop, Badagry Expressway, Lagos State, where Olarewaju reportedly abducted the victim from her parents and kept her in captivity.
Following the disappearance of the victim from her parents house, the matter was reported to the Police at Igando Division and the DPO ordered his officers to move into action and Olarewaju was arrested while the victim was rescued in the process.
During interrogation, the victim narrated how the suspect, Olarewaju, took her to Badagry area, engaged her in sex and placed blood oath on her in order to tie her to himself permanently by cutting his hand and forced her to drink his blood as a bond between them.
After thorough interrogation, the Police found him culpable for engaging a minor in sexual activity and subsequently charged him before the Ogba Magistrates Court for defilement.
He pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned.

The defendant was remanded in custody at the Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending when he will perfect his bail conditions while the matter was adjourned till 25th March, 2023, for mention.
