He said that investigation revealed that the Kamarudeen had sexually harassed the 8-year-old girl weeks earlier.
“The 10-year-old girl told investigators that Kamarudeen was a regular visitor to the house she and the eight-year-old girl live and was a familiar face, but that on Nov. 29, he invited her playfully, covered her mouth and nose while penetrating her from behind.
“Investigation is on-going; the confessional statement of the suspect confirmed that the semen found on the victim’s inner wear belonged to him.
“The two girls have been taken to the Federal Medical Centre Annexe in Akure for necessary medical examination and results indicated that there was attempted sexual abuse of the 10-year-old,’’ Edenabu stated.
