“We learnt from the little girl that the suspect lured her into the building by lying that he would send her on an errand.

“When her parents did not see her, they alerted people in the area and a woman in the neighbourhood said she saw the little girl entering the uncompleted building.

“We then rushed into the building and caught him defiling the little girl.

“When we caught him, we found that he tied the hands of the girl before forcing his way into her body,” the source said.

The source disclosed that the father of the victim, a Pastor, had opted to keep quiet so as to shield the girl from stigmatision.

“The father was not prepared to raise any alarm, but we were angry and arrested the suspect. We have taken him to the Ibusa Police Station,” the source said.
