Sotiyo, who noted that the girls were living with their grandparents, said that they fell to the tactics of the suspects while looking for survival.

“These minors are living with their grandparents but have not been well taken care of.

“It was in the course of looking for survival that they were abused by the four suspects.

“Discreet investigation revealed that the suspects committed the crime.

“I want to assure members of the public that the perpetrators of this offence will be made to face the full wrath of the law to serve as a deterrent to other criminally minded people in the society,” he said.

The suspects while speaking with newsmen admitted that they actually slept with the girls at different times and places after giving money.
