A 15-year-old girl (name withheld) has been reportedly raped by an octogenarian (85-year-old) Rafiu Abimbola in Isundunrin of Ejigbo local government area of Osun State.
Tribune Online investigations revealed that the girl is now four-month pregnant.
Family sources hinted that the alleged perpetrator of the inhumane act threatened to kill the girl if she reveals the illicit act to anybody, adding this was why she kept mute for so long a time.
The source added that the man vowed to make her run mad if she refuses to control her tongues on the matter.
One of the family members who refused to mention his name stated that the octogenarian had severally raped the innocent girl before it resulted in pregnancy.
