THE Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps on Friday paraded a 35-year-old suspected serial rapist identified as Kola Mogaji over alleged rape of a four-year-old girl.

Kola, who was said to be a fashion designer and a resident of Oja Ago area of Ilorin in Ilorin West Local Council Area of the state, was alleged to have been facing some rape charges preferred against him in the state Family Court before the present fresh allegation was made against him.

The NSCDC spokesman in the state, Afolabi Babawale, said, "The suspect has a pending case in court after he was accused of having canal knowledge of a three-year-old girl some months ago.

"The suspect can be categorised as a serial rapist because this will be second rape case preferred against him while we are still carrying out further investigation about his rape escapades," Babawale declared.

The NSCDC PRO narrated further that it was the mother of the four-year-old girl who alerted the office of the NSCDC when she noticed some abnormality in her child "and after medical examination, it was discovered that semen was found in the private part of the girl".

He added, "In his confessional statement, Mogaji admitted to have had canal knowledge of the poor and innocent girl, who he said, always came to his shop.

"The situation is worrisome. The guy is on bail. He was already in the court of law facing criminal charges bordering on rape case. Now he has been caught in the act again."
