The 84-year-old man, identified as Stephen Jack, was arrested by police for allegedly molesting an eight-year-old girl (name secret) in the Okun Owa area of Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.
According to Within Nigeria, State Police Public Relations Officer SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, who made the announcement in a statement Saturday in Abeokuta, said the suspect was arrested following a report filed at Obalende Division headquarters.
Oyeyemi said the girl’s father told police he found his daughter was bleeding from her private parts.

He said Obalende’s DPO branch, Murphy Salami, immediately dispatched his detectives to the scene, where the “horny old man” was arrested.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the old man is a known pedophile in the area,” he said.
