The Oyo State Police Command says it has arrested 17-year-old Usman Dauda over the alleged defilement of a three-year-old girl in the Saki area. Punch Nigeria identifies the allegation and arrest but supplies no account of the incident, information about charges or statement from the suspect or his representatives.

The Oyo State Police Command has arrested a 17-year-old male, identified as Usman Dauda, over the alleged defilement of a three-year-old girl, Punch Nigeria reports. The command said the incident occurred in the Saki area of Oyo State. The supplied material does not describe the alleged assault or state when the arrest was made.

It also does not say whether Dauda has been charged, where he is being held or whether the police investigation is continuing. No information is provided about the condition of the child. The report contains no response from Dauda, his family or a lawyer acting on his behalf.

The available material therefore records the police allegation and arrest without establishing the outcome of the case. Further details about any court proceedings, evidence or protective measures are not included in the source supplied.
