Tribune reports that the accused was arrested on Thursday, May 12th by Egbeda Division of the Oyo State Police Command.
Narrating her experience in the hands of Daddy Dayspring, as the suspect was popularly called,the victim said
" Daddy Dayspring is my father’s friend. On Monday,
my younger brother and I went to greet him. While my brother was
playing outside, Daddy Dayspring asked me to lay on the rug. He
laid beside me, removed my underpants and then removed his trousers. He
first put his fingers in my private part. He later put his penis in my
vagina and I cried. He removed it and blood started coming out. He
warned me against telling anyone, saying that I would die if I did. It
was when I went outside to urinate that I noticed that blood was coming
out of my private part.”she said
Her Father said he had to take his daughter to the hospital when he noticed blood on her pant
“I was not aware of what happened on that Monday because I attended a revival held by Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Egbeda. On Tuesday
evening, I overheard her elder brother saying: “tell Mummy”, but I did
not pay attention because I thought it was the usual children’s pranks. It
was my wife who told me to check my daughter’s private part and when I
did, I noticed that her pants were stained with blood. Thinking that
something injured her, I quickly rushed her to the healthcentre; but was
surprised when I saw that the blood was coming from her private part
when the nurses checked her. She was treated and we returned home. The following day, Wednesday,
we noticed that she was still bleeding so we took her back to the
health centre. A senior nurse started interrogating her and it was there
she revealed that it was my pastor friend who raped her. She said
further that the suspect warned her against telling anyone or else she
would die. We are both members of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria
(PFN), Egbeda branch, and I have informed the leadership.”he said
When interrogated, the suspect, who suddenly started to stammer said
"The little girl and her younger brother used to come to me to play. Her father is a close friend of mine. On Monday May 9, I was in my church premises when she came with her brother. The girl went to lay on the rug on the altar and told her brother that her private part was itching, asking him to come and lay on her. They used to play on the rug before then.
I went near them to ask what was wrong with her. I had to use my hand to help her scratch her private part. After that, the girl said: “Daddy Dayspring, come and lay on me also. When I moved nearer, I could not do anything with her; I did not insert my penis in her vagina. What happened next was that I brought my penis out but I could not penetrate her because her vagina was tight. My intention was to touch her, not to damage her. When I saw that her vagina was very tight, I withdrew my penis and left. There was no blood at that time. I don’t know how blood came out of her.”
When
asked when last he had sex with his wife, he said six months ago,
adding that it was for health reasons. He denied having sex with the
girl for ritual purpose, saying she was young enough to be his
granddaughter.
The
spokesperson of the Oyo State police command, DSP Adekunle Ajisebutu,
confirmed the incident and said the suspect had been transferred to the
State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.
