Jayid is said to have been committing this offence since June 1 this year after enticing support to her two siblings aged 12 and 6 years respectively which she looks after.

According to the police, the man was taken into police custody where he admitted having sex with the victim.

“As police, we are leaving no stone unturned to end this habit and we are going around communities to sensitize people about the evils of indulging in sexual crime,” he warned.
