38-year-old man identified as Olamide Awogbayi has been arrested by the Ondo State Police command for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl during a night vigil held by one of the churches along Idanre Road in Akure, Nigeria.
The suspect who lured the underage girl to an uncompleted building where he defiled her, was nabbed after the girl’s parents raised an alarm that their daughter was missing after the church programme.
