The police in Ogun State have arrested a 75-year-old farmer, Nurudeen Koleosho, for the alleged rape of an 11-year-old Primary 2 pupil, Bola (pseudonym) suffering from autism.
Koleosho was said to have waylaid the girl around his farm in Shomeke community, in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area, Ogun State, around 9am on Monday and forced her into a shed, where he reportedly raped her.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Bola had been living with her grandmother since November 2015 when her father died.
She had gone to play in the farm with her friends on that day, but was left behind during which Koleosho approached her.
He had reportedly attempted to lure her with N1,050. It was learnt that she refused to follow the suspect inside after collecting the money, which made the septuagenarian to resort to force.
Bola was said to have cried home and relayed the incident to her grandmother, Mrs. Bose Adebayo, who followed her to Koleosho’s house.
Bose said, “She came home from the farm with N1,050 and was crying. I asked her what happened.
She said an old man forced her to lie on the floor and put his m*****d in her private parts.
