Council, 59-year-old Mr. Boma Benibo, who was alleged to have
molested a seven-year old girl has been released by the Ondo State
Police Command.
According to the Public Relations Officer of the Command, Wole Ogodo,
Benibo’s release was as a result of the medical report which exonerated
him of the allegation.
Ogodo told newsmen in Akure that the suspect had to be released from
police detention following the medical report from the Police Medical
services.
According to him the police cannot continue to detain the suspect when
the medical report has laid to rest that the allegation against him was
false.
A copy of the report signed by Dr E. O. Adewale made available said
that the victim in question Tomide Babadipe was not defiled as alleged
by her parents.
The girl, on interrogation by the police had said the man just fiddled with
her private part and did not penetrate her, but the parents insisted on the
contrary, prompting medical tests by the police.
“The police is trying to take her to the hospital so that a proper medical
examination will be done to determine the fact of the matter,” Ogodo had
said.
The medical report says “the above named child was brought into this
faculty on 16th December 2013 with complaints of sexual assault meted
on her by a neighbour on Dec 10th 2013.
“Examination revealed a young girl with normal female external private
partia, intact hymen at the introitus. There was no signs of defilement in
the recent time.”
