The Ogun State Police Command on Thursday said its operatives have arrested a 44-Year-Old private security guard, Damilola Otegba, for attempting to allegedly defile a six-year-old inside a building in Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta.

The Spokesperson for the state command, CSP Omolola Odutola, said in a statement on Thursday that Otegba committed the offence on Wednesday.

Odutola disclosed that one Sherifat Bakare, a food vendor residing around Araromi Ajebo Road, FMC, Abeokuta reported the incident to the police on Wednesday.

Bakare reportedly said one Seyi Bakare whom she had left in charge of her shop at FUNAAB alongside her daughter told her of how Otegba had allegedly attempted to rape the minor.

The Six-Year-Old Girl was said to have explained how the private security guard took her upstairs, undressed himself and forced his manhood into her.

Odutola said a female student of the university who saw the security guard and the minor queried the guard but was unable to say anything reasonable.

The Chief Security Officer of FUNAAB was said to have been informed of the incident while the suspect is currently in Police Custody.

The statement partly reads “A private security guard left his security post and tried to engage in unlawful activity with a six-year-old girl at night inside a university building.

“Fortunately, for the timely intervention of another female, the suspect was apprehended.

“On January 15, 2025, at about 2210PM, Sherifat Bakare, a food vendor residing on Araromi Ajebo Road via FMC Abeokuta, reported to the police station that while she was away at the market, she received a call from her younger brother, one Seyi Bakare, whom she had left in charge of her shop on the FUNAAB campus along with her daughter.

“Seyi informed her that while searching for the Six-Year-Old, the girl ran into the shop, visibly frightened. When he asked her what had happened, she revealed that one Damilola Otegba, a 44-Year-Old private security guard assigned to a building on campus, had taken her upstairs to his workplace.”

According to the statement, he allegedly undressed by exposing himself and forced his manhood into her to perform inappropriate acts, then took her to a corner and laid behind her.

“The victim emphasised that despite her resistance to his advances, an unknown female student at FUNAAB, who was unaware of the danger, entered the area and questioned the man about his actions with the girl. This led to the chief security officer of FUNAAB being informed.

“The victim was subsequently taken to the school clinic for medical evaluation. Doctors have been contacted, and FUNAAB Harmony Divisional Police Officer is awaiting their findings. The suspect has been arrested and is currently in custody.

“He will be transferred to the SCID for further investigation following the preliminary inquiry conducted by the crime section of FUNAAB Harmony Divisional headquarters,” the statement added.
