A 51-year old man, Kazeem Salau, arrested for sleeping with a 15-year old girl, has stated that he did not rape her because the victim was mature enough for sex and he had easy penetration into her private part.
The incident happened at Segun Akinola Close in Ebule Egba area of Lagos, where they reside.

However, after the act, the victim having realized what happened reported to her parents that Salau had threatened her before forcing her into the act.
The matter was reported to the Police; Salau was arrested and detained at the Station for investigation. He reportedly admitted that he had sex with the victim with her consent and it was not a case of rape.
