The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Onome Onowhakpoyeya, could not be reached to confirm the incident, however, a source at the Sapele Police station confirmed the arrest. “Yes, the young man was arrested after a CCTV confirmed he sneaked into the toilet, with the little girl, the matter is under investigation”.
