The operatives of Rapid Response Squad
(RRS) of Lagos State Police Command have
apprehended a tricycle rider, popularly called,
"Keke Marwa", for allegedly abducting a 15 -
year old girl and turning her into sex slave.
The suspect, Dada Azeez, 28, abducted
Bukunmi on October 5 while on errand for
her aunt in Agege area before the RRS
operatives rescued her on October 21th, 2016
from his hideout in Agege.
The alleged abduction of the girl was
disclosed by her sister, Mrs Gbemisola, who
stated that the girl was abducted with a sum
of N58,000:00 meant for her thrift
contribution.
The suspect, after weeks of lodging in several
locations to evade arrest, was eventually
nabbed by the operatives at his residence at
7, Oseni Street, Danjuma Cinema area, Agege
with the girl in his one room apartment.
Confessing to the crime, the suspect
disclosed that he wooed the girl when she
was 14 years old at her sister' shop in
Agege. "We started having secret affair about
a year ago. But her sister frowned at our
relationship when she got to know.
Unknown to her, we were still seeing each
other. In order to be having regular
conversation with her, I bought a mobile
phone for her and instructed her to hide it
from her sister. So, whenever she intended
coming to meet me, she will call and I will
describe our meeting point for her".
He added "then I thought if she could elope
with me that would be better for us. I started
working on her psyche and deceiving her with
some material things".
"I was able to perpetrate the crime when her
sister sent her on errand on one Sunday
afternoon. However, I didn't know she was
with such amount of money. I just wanted to
take her far away from her guardian for not
supporting our relationship", he revealed.
Narrating her ordeal, Bukunmi noted that the
suspect forcefully deflowered her, adding
that, he turned her to a sex slave.
According to her," he forced himself on me
the very first day I visited him at his
residence. Ever since, he has been having sex
with me without wearing condom.
He slept with me anywhere and even at his
friends' place where he hid me for weeks. I
succumbed to him because I couldn’t go
back home".
She said that the suspect collected the
N58,000:00 her sister gave her. "He fed me
thrice a day probably from that thrift
contribution money", she added.
The victim, who looked pale when he was
arrested, said that, she eloped with him out
of ignorance.
Also arrested along with him, was one of his
friends, Wasiu Agunbiade, who aided the
abduction by accommodating the suspect
and the teenager in his one-room apartment
in Agege.
He said that he only accommodated them for
a night, adding that he never knew he
abducted the little girl.
"If I had known the girl was abducted, I
would have advised him to return her to her
parents. I never believed he could commit
such crime.
He begged me to accommodate them for one
night with her in my room, stressing, “he left
my place the following day to somewhere
else. I regretted allowing them to pass the
night in my place".
In her reaction, sister of the abducted girl,
who was so elated upon seeing her niece,
said that the family will take her to hospital
for medical check-up.
While confirming the incident, the State
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO)
Superintendent of Police, SP Dolapo Badmus,
warned parents and guardians against
exposing their wards and children to social
vices around their environment.
The suspect, friend and the abducted girl
have been transferred to the Divisional Police
Office in Agege where the case was initially
reported before RRS operatives took it up
and rescued the girl.
