A 26-year-old man, Rafiu Idowu, is
being detained by the Osun State Police
Command for allegedly killing his 10-year-old
cousin, Tawa Bilawu, after he allegedly raped
her. Idowu who confessed to have committed the
offence, said the victim lured him into raping
her when she paid a visit to him at his family
residence at Ile-Ogbo in Ayedire Local
Government Area of the state. The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, for
the state Police Command, Mrs Folashade
Odoro, said the suspect, who is currently in
Police custody, was arrested by a team of
detectives from the State Criminal
Investigations Department, SCID, led by the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mr
Mohammed Jimoh. According to the PPRO, the suspect who
recently returned to the state from Lagos also
smokes indian hemp. The police claimed the suspect admitted that
the deceased was his relative who pays him
regular visit at his residence, adding that the
late Bilawu was known to every member of his
family. The suspect said: “Tawa Bilawu met me at the
passage of my house when she came to visit
me on that fateful day. I asked her where she
was going and she said somebody sent her
somewhere but she decided to check on me. “Bilawu later dragged me into my room where
she removed my trousers and both of us went
on bed. Then, Bilawu put my penis into her
private part and started shouting. I then asked
her the reason for the alarm. “The alarm raised by Bilawu was after two
minutes of sexual intercourse between us.
When she started shouting, I got hold of her
neck and nose and pressed them till she died.” He admitted that the late Bilawu never had
intercourse with him prior to the one that led to
her death. The state Commissioner of Police, Mrs Dorothy
Gimba, has however directed that the case be
investigated and the suspect arraigned.
