Guard your Children Jealously!!

Parents!!! Most especially those of you with female children, I have warned you repeatedly to not play Ludo with your female children's safety o.

Moreso don't make yourself too inaccessible to your children all in the name of forming discipline! 

Our children are being abused but we fail to recognise it. We bury our heads in the sand that such does not happen in our community or at worse blame the child of witchcraft when she reports abuse.

Guard your children jealously o both male and female! Male children get sexually abused too o!

Anyway here is what I found on Vanguard Nigeria website:

LAGOS—A 17-year-old teenager, identified as Tobi George, is currently being investigated by the police at Alakara Division, Lagos, for allegedly defiling a minor on Ogunfunmi Street, Surulere.

It was learned that the act, which had become a recurrence, started sometime ago, after the victim and her younger sister began to stay in the suspect’s house on return from school.

Vanguard gathered that trouble started on July 13, when the victim’s younger sister innocently revealed to her class teacher, during a lesson on sex education, that their neighbour’s son, Tobi, did to her sister what she was teaching her and her classmates.

Startled by the revelation, the teacher invited the victim’s parents to school and informed them of what their daughter had said.

The victim, thereafter, told her parents that the suspect threatened to kill her if she ever told anyone what he was doing to her.

It was learned that the suspect took advantage of the victim, who normally stayed in his house with her younger sister after they closed from school, pending when their parents would return from school at about 6p.m.

The parents immediately took her to Good Tidings Hospital where several tests carried out revealed that the victim had been sexually abused repeatedly, as her hymen had been broken.

Alarmed by the discovery, the parents, Mr and Mrs Adedoyin, went to the suspect’s parents to report the issue.

Parents of the suspect were said to have gone wild and threatened to inflict injury on the victim’s mother.

Vanguard learned that Tobi, who had defiled his younger sister, was in the habit of sexually abusing other young girls in the vicinity.

The suspect has been arrested and the case is currently being investigated at Alakara Police Division.

Confirming the incident, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, said he would get back to Vanguard, but had not done so at press time.
