A 29-year-old man has been arrested for removing the panties of his co-tenant’s teenage daughter while she was sleeping at the verandah of their house.
The dramatic incident, happened around 2am in Delagan Compound, Osogbo. The cry of a young girl woke the occupants of the house and on getting there, it was discovered that her panties had been taken off. The thief was no where to be found.
The father of the victim, Raheem, was said to have consulted a herbalist, who revealed to him that the perpetrator of the act was living in the same house with him.
On getting home, Raheem called the occupants of the house and gave a warning that if the thief did not confess, there is consequences that await such fellow.
Mr Rasaq Iyanda, a co-tenant in the compound later owned up to the crime and took Raheem to where he hid the panties, claiming that he did not know what came over him while carrying out the act.
He was then arrested by operatives of the Osun State Police Command who are also charging him for indecent assault.
