Polytechnic Security Guard and 5 others held for Raping Girl In Ekiti

A guard and two students of a private polytechnic in Ado- Ekiti have been arrested by the police for allegedly raping a female student.

Two other students who were part of the four-student group that allegedly gang-raped the girl on May 5 are on the run.
The police spokesman, Mr. Victor Babayemi, told journalists while parading the suspects, 20-year-old Kunle Aralepo and 23-yearold Oluwaseun Akomolafe, that their two accomplices – Kehinde Adeyemi and Ayo Olomola – were at large.
Babayemi said the victim reported the incident to the school authorities after which the Chief Security Officer (CSO) directed one of the guards, 28-year-old Mr. Seyi Adanbioye, to lead the girl to the police.
According to him, the guard instead took the victim to his apartment where he also forcibly had canal knowledge of her.
The police spokesman said the gang also dispossessed the girl of her mobile phone and N5, 000.
Narrating her ordeal, the 18-year-old victim said the four-man gang broke her door to gain access to her apartment where they tied her up, tore her dress and raped her.
Among the four-man gang, she said she recognised Ayo Olomola, who had, before that day, threatened to forcibly have sex with her.
She said: “The gangsters said they had come to do what I refused to allow Ayo Olomola, their leader, to do and they took turns to rape me.
“After I had reported the matter, the CSO directed the security man to take me home, but on our way, the security man said he received a call from the CSO directing him to take me to his (security man) place for safety purpose. It was at his house that night that he ráped me again”.
The police also paraded 22-year-old Tope Oluwasusi and 24-year-old Tope Babalola for allegedly raping a female victim on her way home at Ilawe-Ekiti.
The police spokesman said the victim was taken to hospital for examination and the test confirmed the allegation.
The police also paraded the proprietor of an Ado- Ekiti-based private nursery and primary school, Mr. Ibitoye Babatope, for allegedly raping an 11-year-old pupil in the bush.
Babayemi, who decried the spate of rape and defilement of minors in the state in recent time, advised parents to have a closer watch on their wards.
