A 20-year-old security guard identified as Samuel Maikasuw has been arrested for molesting and impregnating his employer’s teenage daughter in Lagos state.
Maikasuw was picked up by operatives of the Ikorodu division of the Lagos state police command on Wednesday, June 29, according to Daily Post.
The perpetrator served as a security guard at the house of one Ms. Fadiji who is a surrogate parent to the 15-year-old victim, according to a civil society organisation which is familiar with the case, the Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Peoples Network (ACVP).
According to reports, Maikasuw was said to have been caught in a compromising position with the minor last year but was warned against repeating such.
The ACVPN in a statement, said, “The perpetrator who defiled and impregnated a 15-year-old girl is a 20-year-old boy called Samuel Maikasuw, and he hails from Abaji in the FCT.
“He was a security guard at Ms. Fadiji’s house. He was once caught with the minor last year, and was severely warned never to come near the little girl again.
“He was later transferred to the shop of the landlord’s wife who later converted him to a sales boy.
“Maikasuw was arrested by the vigilantes and policemen in the Ikorodu area after the act. He has been detained at Ikorodu division, Igbogbo.”
The state police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, while confirming the arrest, said, “It is confirmed. It is not just as simple as saying he impregnated someone.
“Under the law, it is defilement. The security guard defiled a minor. The issue is still being investigated.”
