He said, “The case was reported at NSCDC Igbaja Divisional Office on the 14th of June, 2021 around 1830hrs by the victim’s grandfather who reportedly caught the suspect in the act of having canal knowledge with his 12-year-old granddaughter under a mango tree.
“After thorough investigation, it was discovered that the victim is suffering from congenital mental deficiency which has impaired her communication and social skills; she hardly talks to people.
“In addition, a medical report obtained from the hospital in Ijagbo, shows penetration and bruises in the victim’s private area.
