33-year-old man arrested for raping 5 underaged boys

The Edo State Police Command on Tuesday paraded a 33-year-old man, Justine Oliseh, for allegedly engaging in sexual intercourse with five underage boys.

Oliseh, who confessed to sleeping with the boys, however, told newsmen he defiled only four as against five being alleged against him by the police, saying he resorted to the act after being jilted by his girlfriends.

He said, “It is about four of them (boys). What happened was that when my girlfriend broke my heart, I tried another; it was the same. So I started sleeping with the children. Their age ranged between 11 and 14 years.

“They always come to greet me and I usually apply cream. It was on January 1, 2014 that I was caught.”

Edo State Commissioner of Police, Foluso Adebanjo, said the suspects and 58 others arrested for various crimes, would soon be taken to the court.

He urged residents of the state to work hand-in-hand with the police to curb crime.
