A football coach identified only as Adebisi has been arrested by operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) on allegations of attempting to sodomize one of his players.
PLATFORM TIMES reports that the arrest, which occurred last Wednesday, was the result of a tip-off received by the DSS.
The incident unfolded in the Isale Osun area of Osogbo, where Adebisi, who works with a local male football team, met the victim, identified simply as Michael, during a training session at Fakunle Comprehensive High School.
According to sources, Adebisi led Michael to a secluded spot within the school grounds and attempted to touch his genitals.
Fortunately, a school security guard appeared at the scene and thwarted the coach’s initial attempt.
Michael, recounting his harrowing experience, said, “I met Coach Adebisi at the playground of Fakunle Comprehensive High School, Osogbo.
“I know him and some of his ex-players well. After training, he took me to a secluded area within the compound and wanted to touch my genitals. I was displeased and didn’t allow him.”
Following this encounter, Michael confided in other players, who advised him to block Adebisi and cease communication.
An elder in the community, after hearing Michael’s account, recommended reporting the incident to the DSS.
Acting on this advice, Michael resumed contact with Adebisi under DSS surveillance.
“About two Saturdays ago, he invited me to Fakunle Playground again,” Michael continued. “After training, he took me to a secluded area and showed me his private part. A security guard passed by, unaware of what was happening, and we left the place. Last Wednesday, he invited me to a house around Isale Osun. I told the DSS operatives about it.”
Michael described how Adebisi took him to a room in a house allegedly belonging to Adebisi’s brother. “We were gisting, but later, he moved towards me and told me to remove my clothes and trousers. I obeyed him. For the period I was with him, I was on chat with the captain of my team, updating him about happenings.
He was touching my genitals and played porn videos to put me in the mood. We were still in the room when some DSS operatives came in and arrested him. Since then, he has been in their custody.”
Dr. Peter Afunaya, the Director of DSS’s Directorate of Public Relations and Strategic Communications, confirmed Adebisi’s arrest.
In a statement, Afunaya reportedly remarked, “The investigation is still ongoing. Besides him, many other human traffickers were intercepted.”
