A 44-year-old security guard of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Damilola Otegba, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly paedophile.
The security guide was caught by a female student of the institution while trying to force himself on a six-year-old.
The Ogun State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, CSP Omolola Odutola, confirmed the arrest in a statement issued on Thursday.
Odutola said, “On Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at about 10:10pm, Sherifat Bakare, a food vendor residing on Araromi Ajebo Road, via Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta, reported to the police station that while she was away at the market, she received a call from her younger brother, one Seyi Bakare, whom she had left in charge of her shop on the FUNAAB campus along with her daughter.
“Seyi informed her that while searching for the six-year-old, the girl ran into the shop, visibly frightened. When he asked her what had happened, she revealed that one Damilola Otegba, a 44-year-old private security guard assigned to a building on the campus, had taken her upstairs to his workplace.

“He allegedly undressed by exposing himself, forced his manhood into her to perform inappropriate acts, and then took her to a corner and laid behind her.
“The victim emphasised that as she resisted his advances, an unknown FUNAAB female student, who was unaware of what was going on, entered the area.
“On seeing the untoward situation, she questioned the man about his actions with the girl. This led to the chief security officer of FUNAAB being informed,” it read.
Odutola disclosed that the girl was promptly taken to the school clinic for medical evaluation, and the FUNAAB Harmony Divisional Police Officer is awaiting the doctor’s report on the examination.
She further revealed that the suspect remains in police custody and will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Eleweran, for a more detailed investigation.
