Osun State Operatives, of the Department of State Security (DSS) have arrested a football coach identified as Adebisi in Osogbo, Osun State, for allegedly attempting to sodomize one of his players.
The arrest occurred last Wednesday in the Isale Osun area of Osogbo, following a tip-off.
Sources in the area, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for safety reasons, confirmed the incident.
Adebisi reportedly met the victim, identified only as Michael, during a training session at Fakunle Comprehensive High School, Osogbo.
The coach allegedly took Michael to a secluded place within the school compound and attempted to touch his genitals.
Michael narrated the incident, saying, “I met Coach Adebisi at the playground of Fakunle Comprehensive High School, Osogbo.
After training, he took me to a secluded area within the compound and he wanted to touch my genitals.
I was displeased and didn’t allow him.”
A security guard patrolling the school disrupted the coach’s plan.
Michael disclosed the incident to other players, who advised him to cut off contact with Adebisi.
He also reported the matter to an elderly person, who suggested involving the DSS.
Michael continued, “I told the DSS operatives about it and played along, resuming communication with him.
About two Saturdays ago, he invited me to Fakunle Playground again.
After training, he took me to a secluded area and showed me his private part.
A security guard passed by and saw us, but didn’t know what was going on.”
Michael described how Adebisi later invited him to a house in Isale Osun. “Last Wednesday, he invited me to a place around Isale Osun, Osogbo.
I told the DSS operatives about it.
I met Adebisi in a house there.
We were gisting, but later, he moved towards me and told me to remove my clothes and trousers.
He was touching my genitals and played porn videos to arouse me.
We were still in the room when some DSS operatives came in and arrested him.
Since then, he has been in their custody.”
The Director of DSS’s Directorate of Public Relations and Strategic Communications, Dr. Peter Afunaya, confirmed Adebisi’s arrest.
“The investigation is still ongoing.
Besides him, many other human traffickers were intercepted,” Afunaya stated in a message sent to our correspondent.
