The Chief Imam of a mosque in Babasanya-Araka Area of Ede, Osun State, simply identified as Kadiri, has confessed to raping an eight-year-old girl (name withheld) after sending her to buy groundnuts.

An eyewitness, Oladele Oluwatosin, a postgraduate student of Redeemer’s University, Ede, during the protest told the Nation said a noise was heard which quickly attracted the resident.

“I was around the area with my colleagues of Group II for the DevComm campaign when the incident happened. We suddenly heard noise at the junction of Babasanya which attracted residents of the area.
