Four suspected rapists have been arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Osun State Command.

The suspects, Sadiq Opeyemi, 30, Afeez Olalekan, 26, Ismail Ibrahim, 30, and Abdulahi Garba, 33, were arrested on December 3 in Iwo, Iwo Local Government Area of the state, for allegedly raping two minors.

The NSCDC Commandant in Osun, Mr Igbalawole Sotiyo, while parading the suspects, said the minors they allegedly raped were aged 13.

He said the victims who were living with their grandparents and seeking survival means fell for the tactics of the suspects.

He assured members of the public that the perpetrators would face the full wrath of the law to serve as a deterrent to other criminally minded people.

The suspects, while being questioned by newsmen, admitted to committing the offence, saying they offered money to the girls.
