CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

The police at Ikotun division have arrested a 40-year old man, Oyin Ezigbo, for his alleged sexual molestation of an 11-year old boy who he damaged his anus after forceful penetration.

The incident happened on Sunday at a mechanic workshop located at Suraju Street off Better Life Road in Abaranje area of Ikotun, Lagos where the victim parents and the suspect reside.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that Ezigbo allegedly lured the victim, who was sent to buy noodles by his parents, into a mechanic workshop where he forced him to lay faced down, used cream to rub the boy’s anus and penetrated him.

Our correspondent gathered that the Ezigbo’s forceful penetration of the victim got him injured which forced him to shout for help.

It was gathered that the boy’s chilling cries attracted the mechanic workshop owner and his workers who came to the boy’s rescue while Ezigbo fled.

Following the alleged sexual assault, the matter was reported to the Police at Ikotun division who trailed Ezigbo and arrested him.

He is currently detained at the police cell for the alleged offence and his vehicle was impounded and brought to the station by the angry residents.

When P.M.EXPRESS visited Ikotun police division, Ezigbo was still detained there and every effort to speak to him proved abortive as the police was not willing to allow our correspondent to do so.

However, the police sources said that he will soon be charged to court.

When P.M.EXPRESS visited the father of the boy, William Adekoya in his house, he narrated what happened and his frustration.

He said that he had sent the boy to go and buy the noodles which the family wanted to eat as launch that afternoon before the owner of the mechanic workshop came to tell him what happened.

He said the residents became angry and searched for the suspect to mob him and to teach him a lesson but he had fled.

The angry father said the vehicle left behind by Ezigbo was impounded and taken to Ikotun police division before the suspect later showed up and got arrested.

He said the sodomy act severely injured his son who was taken quickly to the hospital for treatment.

He said he was more afraid after some people told him that his son might have been rendered useless because they suspect Ezigbo might has used him for ritual by the forceful penetration.
