The Ekiti State Amotekun Corps has arrested a 28-year-old man, Olapade Ifeoluwa, for allegedly r@ping a seven-year-old girl.
Ekiti Amotekun Corps Head of Communications, Adeleye Adewale, who disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, December 16, 2026 said that the suspect was nabbed at Ilawe Ekiti by operatives in the Ekiti Southwest Local Government for alleged involvement in the r@pe of the seven-year-old minor.
“Upon interrogation by the arresting officers of the Ekiti Southwest Local Government Command, the suspect confessed to the crime committed,” the statement read.
“He said that the minor was induced with watching a film and lured to his apartment, where he precipitously had carnal knowledge of her. He later ascribed his action to devil’s work after his apprehension.
“The father of the minor explained the ordeal, noting that her daughter’s cry during the incident at Ujana Street in Ilawe Ekiti aided her rescue, through the crowd-pulling.
“The suspect and victim have been brought to Ekiti State Amotekun Headquarters Command, Ado Ekiti for further investigation and necessary action.”
