The Osun State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has apprehended a 22-year-old teacher, Ahmadan Rufai Akorede, for allegedly molesting a seven-year-old female pupil in Ilesa.

Akorede, according to a statement by the Osun NSCDC Commandant, Igbalawole Sotiyo, molested the minor by forcing his genitals into her mouth.

In a statement issued by the command's Public Relations Officer, Kehinde Adeleke, Sotiyo added that a thorough investigation revealed that the school teacher began molesting the girl sometime in 2024.

The statement reads: “According to his confession, when it was closing time, he asked the victim to close all the windows in a classroom and forced his genitals into her mouth.

“The second incident happened on 20th March, 2025, after school hours. Only the teacher and the girl were in the class, and he touched her buttocks.

“The suspect was arraigned by the NSCDC on Wednesday, 26th March, 2025, before the Magistrate's Court in Ilesa, where he pleaded not guilty to the single charge and was subsequently remanded at the correctional facility in Ilesa. The matter was adjourned for trial.”

In another development, the Osun NSCDC revealed that 20-year-old Tiamiyu Oluwatobi Samuel had been arrested on 26th March, 2025, by its operatives for unlawfully having sexual intercourse with a 12-year-old girl in Gbongan town.

“In his confession, he had known the victim for three years and had asked her to be his girlfriend, but she refused. On Sunday, 23rd March, 2025, at approximately 3:00 pm, the victim was passing in front of the suspect's house when he called her and dragged her into his room with the help of an accomplice.

“The suspect threatened the victim with a cutlass and had sexual intercourse with her.

“Thereafter, the victim started bleeding, and the suspect threatened to kill her if she told anyone. The accomplice is currently at large but will be apprehended to face the consequences of their actions,” the statement said.
