Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the suspect was a co-tenant with the victim's parents. 
 

He was said to have lured the girl into a bush path under the pretense of wanting to send her on an errand and forcefully had carnal knowledge of her.

The DPO, CSP Aloko Amodu, quickly led his men to the scene and promptly arrested the suspect who had been severely beaten by angry mob", Oyeyemi stated in a press statement made available to Crimepuzzle.
