A resident, who identified himself only as Jamiu, told Punch Metro on Tuesday that Abibatu alerted the community that Sofiatu was being raped in a bush.
He said, “The river is called Agude. It
serves the community. That was not the first time little girls would go
to fetch water at the place. On that day, the two girls met Ishau
(Arowolo) and greeted him.“Later, they observed he was coming
behind them. Suddenly, he grabbed Sofiatu and entered into a bush to
carry out the act. The other girl ran back to the community to tell us.“When we got to the place, we did not
find both of them, except their clothes and shoes. We began to comb the
forest, until someone raised the alarm that Arowolo was hiding in the
river. When we checked, he was found and pulled out.“Minutes later, we also found Sofiatu.
He might have drowned the girl after he raped her. She was unconscious,
while blood was dripping from her private parts.”
Sofiatu was taken out of the river and rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was confirmed dead.
