A case of defilement

Odutola said a family at Giwa Agbado brought a case to the Divisional Police Station stating that John allegedly defiled their 16-year-old daughter.

“The family reported that their daughter had been repeatedly treated for recurring infections and exhibited frightful tendencies that made them suspect that she might have been involved in sexual intercourse.
