Disclosing this in a statement, the command’s Public Relations Officer, Oluwole Olusegun said that the state Commandant, Michael Adaralewa, spoke on the arraignment at the command headquarters, Agodi, Ibadan.
The first suspect, Akinsile, of Alafara Ona Ara, Ibadan, was first arrested on June 15 for the defilement of a 14-year-old girl and was granted bail, but went ahead to defile another minor and was rearrested on July 7.
The second suspect, Dr Ajewumi, from Oki Olodo, Ibadan, was arrested for illegal adoption and defilement of another 14-year-old girl.
Sources told Thenewsbearer that the community where the accused lived reported his case when they noticed that he confined the girl and continually defiled her.

In his remarks, Adaralewa said that the NSCDC arraigned the two suspects after medical examination and thorough investigation of the victims.

On those still indulging in the defilement of minors or assault of women, the Commandant warned them to desist, as the NSCDC would deal decisively with anybody caught in such act.
