Whenever she remembers the ugly experience she allegedly
went through in the hands of her boyfriend and three of his
friends, she curses the day she met him.
Jolade was said to have been gang-raped by four suspected
cultists including her boyfriend of over two years, Oluwole
Seyi, 18.
Another girl, Tawa (surname withheld), said to be the girl
friend of one of the other suspects, was also not spared as the
boys allegedly had carnal knowledge of her in quick
succession.
The three other suspected rapists were identified as Olayinka
Andrew,18; Tobi Akindolapo, 17; and Ayomide Akinbinu,
18.
Sunday Vanguard gathered that the victim was deceived by
her boyfriend who allegedly told her they were attending a
party in Ondo town that night.
But unknown to her, the boyfriend had allegedly arranged
with three of his friends to commit the dastardly act. On
getting to the said party, the victim was said to have become
apprehensive when there were no signs that a party was in the
offing.
She reportedly raised eyebrows over the mode of dressing of
her boyfriend and his friends who allegedly put on black
shirts and trousers with red scarfs on their heads.
She, however, played along when she discovered that another
lady was with the boys.
But suddenly the boys reportedly pounced on her and the
other girl and the four of them had carnal knowledge of them.
The boyfriend, the police, quoting the victims, said, took the
first shot before the others took their turns.
The suspects, it was alleged, ignored the girls’ cries for
mercy. The victims reportedly bled profusely after the sexual
assault.
Speaking with Sunday Vanguard on the arrest of the four
suspected cultists who allegedly raped the girls, the Ondo
State Police Command image maker, Wole Ogodo, said the
suspects were arrested in Ondo town.
Ogodo said they were amongst the 14 suspected cultists
arrested across the state.
He said the suspects had made confessional statements and
would soon be charged to court.
According to him, 32 suspects were arrested in November by
detectives across Ondo State for offences which include
armed robbery, cultism, burglary, fraud and kidnapping.
The image maker said the suspects were arrested at three
different locations- Akure, Owo and Ondo town.
He explained that detectives under the state Special Anti-
Cultist Squad, SACS, swung into action following complaints
lodged by victims and made the arrests.
Shedding more light on the two girls allegedly raped, Ogodo
said Jolade’s boyfriend and his fellow suspected cultists were
trying to initiate them into the Eiye cult group.
He alleged that investigations showed that the suspects had
been responsible for m****r, rape and stealing in Ondo, Owo
and Akure towns.
The police image maker alleged that the boyfriend – Oluwole
– confessed to be involved in stealing, rape among other
vices, and that he was initiated into the Eiye confraternity in
Lagos.
Ogodo said Andrew, who allegedly claimed to reside at No 51
Ayeyemi Street, Ondo, confessed to raping Jolade and Tawa.
Tobi and Ayomide of No 18 Ayeyemi Street, Ondo, according
to him, also confessed doing same.
Breaking down the suspects arrested, Ogodo said they
include six suspected armed robbers, three suspected
burglars, one fraudster and four suspected kidnappers,
alleging they had been terrorizing the people of the state.
According to him, two of the suspected armed robbers
arrested used a truck to block the Lagos/ Ore Expressway to
rob a lorry loaded with 800 cartons of fish.
The lorry was later recovered by detectives in Onitsha,
Anambra State.
