The raped victim, according to the sources, reported what transpired at Sobalade’s house to her parents, who stormed the accused person’s house and descended on him. The development resulted into pandemonium, as neighbours and other members of the public got to know what the self-acclaimed cleric did to her little girl. Sobalade was arrested by the police at the Iree Police Post where he was detained before the case was transferred to Iragbiji Police divisional Headquarters.
