The 12-year-old girl has been taken to the hospital for medical examination.
Four suspected cultists were caught following a raid by the police.
Owolabi, who lives in the same neighbourhood as the victim, was said to have tricked her into his apartment located at Alhaji Yinu Street, Bariga.
According to a police source, “The girl’s mother was away that Thursday; her grandmother sent her on an errand and the suspect tricked her into his room, where he raped her.
“When the girl’s mother returned, she noticed that Ngozi’s pants were wet and she became suspicious. She asked her what happened to her, and she said it was Owolabi that raped her.”
