Two suspected sex predators have been held by the police in Lagos.

Police spokesman, CSP Chike Oti, who gave details of the cases, said one involved one 40-year-old Mukaila Aliu of 17 Peluola Street, Mafoluku, Oshodi, who took advantage of a 16-year-old physically challenged girl child (deaf and dumb) on November 10, 2017.

He added that Aliu had been on the run ever since.

Oti said Aliu had allegedly lured the survivor by pretending he was going to buy Indomie noodles for her. Not suspecting any foul play, the victim followed him to an abandoned shop along Oshodi Road where he defiled her.

Aliu was however caught in the act, but he escaped and remained in hiding until on November 19, when he came out of hiding to challenge a property developer at a site in Oshodi, menacingly demanding some fees from the property owner, claiming to be an ‘Omoonile’.

Oti says in a statement,

“He was, however, identified by one of the workers at the site as a suspect on the wanted list of the police. The worker sneaked out and alerted the Divisional Police Officer, Makinde Police Station, who promptly arrested him and handed him over to the Gender Section of the Command for further investigation.

“The second case involves one Chika Okafor, 39, of No. 3/16 Oketa Street, Mende-Maryland who on 17/10/18, lured a 15-year-old girl who ran away from home because her mum threatened to beat her up for losing an important item. He got her into his car and took her to a beer parlour where he convinced her to take some liquor.

“Being her first time to indulge in such a habit, the little girl was completely knocked out after guzzling several bottles of alcoholic drinks.

“The suspect, seeing the state of the survivor, took her to a hotel at Oshodi.

“At this point, the little girl whom he had completely undressed told him to let her be because she is a virgin, but he still went ahead and shaved her pubic hair, deflowered her and went away with the shaved hair.

“The following morning being 18/10/2018, the suspect took her to his friend’s place in Maryland and had his way with her the second time. He thereafter took the survivor in his car and dropped her at the nearest location to her parents’ house.

“The girl narrated her ordeal to her mum and she immediately petitioned the state Commissioner of Police, CP Imohimi Edgal who ordered a manhunt for the perpetrator.
