However, the whole thing got exposed when their mother’s sister wanted to bathe the girls, and they complained of pains in their private parts. 

Their mother was contacted to ask to know what caused the pain. At that point, the victims revealed that the suspect, Lawal, had defiled them severally and warned them separately not to tell anyone what he did to them.

The matter was reported to the Police at Isheri Oshun Division. The suspect was arrested and transferred to the Gender Section of the Lagos State Command for interrogation over his conduct.

After thorough interrogation, the Police found him culpable and charged him before the Ogba Magistrates Court for the alleged offence.
