In a place called Lagos, something very wrong and sad happened. The police there caught three men who hurt a young girl who is just 15 years old. This happened in a part of Lagos called Festac.
The police man who talks to people, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said they caught the men. He told this to people who write stories for newspapers on a day called Wednesday, in Lagos.
The men they caught have names. They are Vincent Omar, who is 22 years old, Leonard Nwodo, who is 30 years old, and Henry Chiokwe, who is 17 years old.
Someone who knew what happened told the police about it. They went to a police office in Festac on September 26. They told the police about this for the young girl who couldn’t do it herself.
The young girl said she met Vincent Omar sometime back in the year 2022. She was just 13 years old then. They swapped phone numbers, and he started calling her to come to his house. He did something bad by telling her to do things she didn’t want to do.
The girl also said something happened in May 2024. She met another of Omar’s friends called Leonard Nwodo at her mom’s shop. They too swapped phone numbers. Nwodo invited her to come with him to Omar’s house again, and he also hurt her.
Then there was Henry Chiokwe. He hurt her too, which made the girl very sad, said the police man who spoke to the newspaper writers.
Omar and Chiokwe made threats. They told the girl they would show the world some pictures of her that she wouldn’t want anyone to see unless she did what they said. Because of this, the girl managed to get help, and someone went to the police station for her.
The bad men didn’t get away. The police have taken them to a special place called a court where people decide what happens to those who do very bad things.
