A 4-year old girl was allegedly defiled by her school bus driver identified as Humble Michael, who reportedly forcefully penetrated her and thereafter she bled from her private part.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened last Friday at Ogijo, a settlement in Ogun State.
The little girl’s mother went to the the Ogijo Police Division to make complaints after she observed that blood was coming out from her daughter’s private part. She told Policemen that her husband noticed the blood when he was bathing the girl. Then after series of questions, the girl disclosed that it was her school bus driver that forcefully slept with her.
The little girl revealed that it happened after the school bus had dropped other pupils at their respective homes.
The Divisional Police Officer thereafter assigned operatives to go after the suspect. He was subsequently arrested and detained at the Station for interrogation over the dastardly act.

The little girl was referred to hospital for medical examination and a doctor at the General Hospital confirmed that the 4-year old girl was forcefully slept with. She is currently receiving medical attention.
