An officer of one of the paramilitary organizations in Ekiti State, simply known as Igein Michael has been alleged of sexually abusing a teenager girl in his custody.
Though the officer claimed innocence of the act, findings from the Office of the Wife of the Governor of Ekiti State, affirmed that the victim who is now in government custody confirmed that Michael has been molesting her since she was 12.
Reports says, the officer had approached the mother of the girl who had seven children to allow the victim live with him so that he can support her education.
It was however alleged that while the girl was staying with him, the officer lured her into sex before he was exposed by a concerned person.
When contacted, the officer who denied the allegation, claimed that he took the girl from her mother when he observed that she was out of school and began to take care of her.
According to him, when he was transferred to Sokoto, he also took the lady along with his own children before he was again transferred to Ekiti.
Michael said, he left the girl with his wife in Sokoto, until few months ago when the girl joined him in Ado-Ekiti.
He said: “I was only trying to help the girl.
