Men of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have arrested three boys aged between 19 and 20 for raping a 14-year-old secondary school student simply identified as Precious.

The suspects were identified as Osabuohien Aghimien, Osamudiamen Stephen and Victory Osayomwan.

They were said to have had two rounds of sex each with the victim and were arrested by family of the victim the following day.

Narrating their involvement in the saga, Osabuohien, who claimed to be a mechanic apprentice said the victim was his girlfriend and that he took her to the house of his friend to pass the night.

He said the incident happened in the night and that his friends asked him to sleep with the victim and she obliged them.

“I was there when they had sex with her. When my friend said he wanted to go in again, she agreed. It was the next day I went to their house that I was arrested. My friend wanted to give her money but I refused.”

On his part, Stephen said the sex session took place in his room explaining that his friend told them that the girl was a commercial sex worker he picked up.

“He told us the girl was his loose (prostitute). So we all slept with her. She did not cry at all. He said we should use her for the night. We did not give her any money.”

Victory stated that he requested to have sex with the teenager and she agreed.

Commandant of NSCDC, Makinde Iskil, said the suspects would be handed over to the appropriate authorities once they conclude their investigation.
