Here's what the relative said;

“They live together in the area and he usually patronises the grandmother of the girl. He (Kehinde) lured the girl into the toilet of the mosque in Iwaya and defiled her.  

“The only thing the girl could say was that he peed on her and gave her N100. The N100 exposed the whole thing because the grandma said the guy doesn't pay when he buys goods from her. 

“The grandma asked if the N100 was payment for some of the things that he bought or he gave the girl as a gift? He could not explain and the money was suspicious so that led to his arrest. 

“He ( Kehinde) was caught and taken to the head of the community but he escaped. That made them take the matter to the police station. The Investigative Police Officer in charge of the matter at Sabo Police Station told the community leaders that if they don't produce the man, they will all be arrested. 

“Surprisingly, they called the IPO to say they had found him and took him to the police station. He has since been detained and being interrogated.”
