A 65-year-old landlord
identified as Samuel Adekoya, has been apprehended by the police for alleged
child molestation of his tenant’s twin children in Ogun.
The mother alleged that while
she was away on business she was called by a good Samaritan informing her that
her landlord had tied her twin sons Taiwo Enoch Olishe and Kehinde Emmanuel
Olishe’s hands and legs like goats while dragging them on the ground with the
rope after he had beaten them with cable wire.
The Ogun State police
spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said that the suspect had made a video
recording while carrying out his dire act. Oyeyemi quoted the mother as stating
that “the twins sustained varying degrees of body injuries as a result of
the wicked act meted on them by the landlord.”
When interrogated on the
reason for his actions the landlord said that he was informed that one of the
twins excreted within the compound. The police image maker explained that when
the landlord was asked to take policemen to where the excreta was, “he said the
boy has already washed it.”
One of the twins is currently
on admission at Ijebu Ode General Hospital due to injuries he sustained while he
was being dragged on the ground by the suspect.
