Northern City News gathered on Sunday that Okon had engaged in r*pe of minors for many years before he was apprehended.

The suspect said that he was attracted to underage girls, saying he found it difficult to exercise self-control.

It has become part of me; anytime I set my eyes on small beautiful girls, I got aroused and it has been affecting me adversely.

Even If I am on a bike, I will stop and say hello to the girl before I continue on my way and it’s something I cannot control, honestly,” he said.

The suspect said that he did not regard it as a criminal act until he found himself in police custody.

Okon however regretted his action and begged the girl’s parents for forgiveness, promising to turn a new leaf.
