Apparently, the matter was reported at a police station in the area and he was arrested, but was later released on bail. He was thereafter mandated to report to the station last Monday.
When the Newspaper visited the police station where the matter was reportedly handled, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) denied knowledge of the case, saying that no such matter was brought before him.
However, investigations showed that the matter was actually reported at that station. A petty trader around the police station told Sunday Sun that the matter did not involve a Father Christmas, but a Barney brought to the party by the party organizers hired by the school for the event.
She explained that it was even the owner of the business that was arrested and not the culprit as he could not be traced after the incident. She said that she knew about the matter when she saw a pregnant woman by her shop (who she claimed was the wife of the man arrested) crying while the man was detained at the police station.
Although the woman argued that the man on the run was innocent of the charge, she could not explain why the said offender disappeared following the report.
It was her view that the parents of the girl were not telling the whole truth, as they were alleged to have taken the child to a hospital as far as Ogba, in Lagos, for test that would ascertain the truth of the matter.
According to her, they claimed that it was their family hospital. She believed that the police were in the best position to decide where the test should have been done.
“I know the man that was arrested. He runs a party organizing outfit, which the school hired. When people rent the Barney costume, anybody can then wear it. When someone rented it in my compound, it was even my son that wore it. Anybody can wear it. The person who wore the costume during the party allegedly dipped his finger in the girl’s vagina, and then ran away. They have not seen him till now” she explained,parents BEWARE..
