“We were able to discover that there were more than 19 children that were victims of such molestation by the suspect,” Amar said.
“This happened as a result of one of the affected children whom the man reportedly lured into his room with sweet and orange.
”As he entered the room with the child, he locked the room and attempted to forcefully have an illegal carnal knowledge of his anus.”
However, the boy’s refusal led to a struggle that attracted a passerby, who intervened.
Consequently, the Divisional Officer, Wuye Division, ordered the arrest of the suspect. He has been transferred, alongside one of his alleged victims, to the Criminal Investigation Department of the FCT Police Command.
