The Edo State Police Command on Tuesday paraded a
33-year-old man, Justine Oliseh, for allegedly engaging in sexual intercourse
with five underage boys.
Also paraded for child defilement was 60-year old
Benjamin Amadin, who was accused of defiling a nine-year-old girl.
Oliseh, who confessed to sleeping with the boys,
however, told our correspondent he defiled only four as against five being
alleged against him by the police, saying he resorted to the act after being
jilted by his girlfriends.
He said, “It is about four of them (boys). What
happened was that when my girlfriend broke my heart, I tried another; it was
the same. So I started sleeping with the children. Their age ranged between 11
and 14 years.
“They always come to greet me and I usually apply
cream. It was on January 1, 2014 that I was caught.”
Amadin, however, denied having sexual intercourse
with the nine-year-old, saying he was framed.
He said, “My wife died in September 2013 and I
just finished her burial. Because I did not pay four months house rent, the
woman that collects the rent set me up. I am innocent.”
Edo State Commissioner of Police, Foluso
Adebanjo, said the suspects and 58 others arrested for various crimes, would
soon be taken to the court.
He urged residents of the state to work
hand-in-hand with the police to curb crime.
