71-year-old man rapes seven-year-old pupil

What would make a grandfather to take pleasure in raping kids in his domain?
The act of raping under-aged girls, which is becoming rampant in our society today, has added to its list a 71-year-old, Alhaji Ganiyu Kolawole, who has been nabbed for allegedly raping seven-year-old Taye Juliana Michael.
Kolawole was arrested by the men of Nigeria Security Civil Defence Corps, Ondo State Command for allegedly engaging in the act.
The suspect, who is popularly called Alhaji, was said to have perpetrated the evil act at his residence located on Mission road, Ayetoro Street, Oba-Ile, Akure North Local Government Area on December 3.
It was gathered that Kolawole, who has no relations, has been residing in the community for quite a while.
According to the source, who wants to remain anonymous, Michael who is a Primary One pupil of St. Paul Annex Primary School, Oba-Ile, on December 3, 2013, reported that she was called by a young girl who pushed her to Kolawole, who carried her inside his room and had forcefully had carnal knowledge of her.
It was gathered that when the mother of the victim reported the operatives of the NSCDC at Oba-Ile, it was discovered there was sperm in her private part.
She was taken to the State Specialist Hospital, Akure where it was confirmed that Taye had been raped.
The source narrated that Kolawole fled when he discovered the case had been reported before he was apprehended at midnight by men of Oodua Peoples’ Congress, who handed him over to the men of the NSCDC.
The mother of the victim insisted she wants justice to prevail.
She said Kolawole has been known to be a rapist and whenever he was arrested by police, he is released.
However, the Chief Imam of Akure, Alhaji Yayi Akorede, who came to the office of the corps to confirm the authenticity of the accused ‘Alhaji’, said he is a fake one.
Akorede said people such as Kolawole only tarnish the image of true Muslims.
The cleric said he had rushed down to confirm due to the news milling round town that an Alhaji raped a pupil and now that he has seen him he can boldly say he is fake.
Confirming the incident, the NSCDC’s Public Relations Officer, Kayode Balogun, stated that was indeed arrested for alleged rape.
Taye was coming back from school in the afternoon and was thirsty.
So she wanted to drink water from a nearby well opposite her school and could not drink the water because it was dirty.
As she left the well, Alhaji called on her and someone passed by who pushed her to Alhaji who lives opposite the well.
He reportedly carried her inside his room, covered her mouth with his hand and pushed her on the bed.
She further said that after the act, Alhaji cleaned her up with a cloth as she was bleeding.
Balogun said: “When Alhaji was interviewed, he said the girl approached him to buy her biscuit as she was hungry, which he bought for her but denied raping the girl.”
Balogun stated that officers of the corps went to the house of the accused (Oba-Ile) for investigation and the inhabitants of the area testified that the man is fond of raping children and has been jailed before for raping a particular girl in that area.
The corps PRO said: “Taye was taken to General Hospital where it was confirmed she was raped, but investigation is still ongoing as the man is still in our custody and will be taken to court for prosecution.”
