A Togolese, Dominic Samson, has been arrested by the police over alleged sexual defilement of six underage girls ofbetween ages 13 to 15, in Ejigbo area of Lagos.
A statement today by the spokesman for the police in Lagos, CSP Chike Oti, says the suspect’s arrest followed a report by the father of one of his alleged victims.
The statement adds that all the victims, except one, had confirmed being sexually assaulted by the suspect.
The suspect was also accused of sodomising his victims and forcing them into having anal sex with him.
The statement says the suspect also forces all the victims into participating in sex orgies and gives them N50 each afterwards.
The statement reads: “On 08/10/2018, about 0850hrs, a report came to the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Ejigbo Police Station, CSP Olabisi Okufowobi, by the father of one of the children defiled and indecently assaulted by a Togo national, Dominic Samson, 31, of 28 Olusesan Street, Ejigbo; that while he was busy fending for his family, Dominic Samson, a neighbour, was home having his way with his 15-year-old daughter.
