He claimed that the suspects planned to sexually defile the girl in the Okokomaiko district of the state.
According to Hundeyin, the survivor’s mother reported the crime on Friday to the Okokomaiko Police Division.
“The survivor’s mother said that her daughter was defiled by her husband and his friend.
