Silas Daniel, a 17-year-old adolescent domestic help who reportedly defiled his employer’s children, aged five and ten, was remanded at the Special Correctional Centre in Adigbe, Abeokuta, Ogun State, police said on Monday. This transfer occurred because that facility houses youngsters or teenagers who are unable to be housed in adult correctional facilities.

According to the police, on October 10, 2024, a case of indecent report and defilement was moved from the Dopemu Police Division to the Gender Unit of the Lagos State Police Command Ikeja at approximately 2 p.m.

The victims’ father allegedly complained that his domestic help Daniel defiled his daughter and son, who are both five and ten years old.

Similarly, another case of defilement and abortion was also reported and the case was transferred on September 30, 2024, from the FESTAC Division to the Gender Unit of Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja.

The complainant told the police that the defendant allegedly had sexual relations with the two juveniles he left with at the residence while he was not present.

According to the plaintiff, Daniel had sexual relations with his kid via his anus.

After being questioned, the accused suspect confessed to the crime.

He was arraigned on Friday, and the court remanded him to the Special Correctional Centre in Adigbe, Abeokuta, Ogun State, due to his age of 17 years.

Similarly, another case of defilement and abortion was recorded, and it was transferred on September 30, 2024, from the FESTAC Division to the Gender Unit of the Lagos State Police Command in Ikeja.

According to the police, the complainant alleged that Gbolahan Osinusi, 42, a teacher at a school in Ketu-Epe, Lagos State, who is also the guardian of a 12-year-old minor, had been having sexual intercourse with her since the survivor was 12 years old until December 2023, when she turned 17.

The complaint further claimed that Gbolahan Osinusi ordered the victim to make an oath not to inform anybody or she would die, and that he took her to a nurse, Mariam Fatolu, multiple times for abortion medications to be delivered whenever she became pregnant.

According to the police, Osinusi was charged on October 16, 2024, and Mariam Fatolu, who is presently being treated at the General Hospital Ketu-Epe, will be charged as soon as feasible.
