Four men believed to be members of a cult group were arrested this week for raping a student at a private polytechnic in Ekiti State.
A security man at the institution was also arrested for raping the victim afterwards when he was supposed to help her.
Adding salt to injury, the suspected cult members also stole her phone and N5,000.00.
According to the victim’s report, on Wednesday, the suspects stormed her room, tied her up and took turn to rape her.
Ekiti State Police Command in Ado Ekiti have identified the four suspected rapists as Kunle Aralepo 20, Oluwaseun Akomolafe, 23, who are ND II students of Business Administration and Kehinde Adeyemi and Ayo Olomola, who are on the run.
The victim, an ND 1 student of the polytechnic, said that one of the boys had asked her out on a date before and she refused.
According to reports, she also accused one of the security men in the polytechnic, Seyi Adanbioje, of raping her the same day at his residence after the Chief Security Officer of the school directed him to take her to police station to make an official report of the rape case.
She said the security man took her to his house after they left the station, and also forcefully had sex with her but he denied it.
“She could not sleep alone because she was afraid that those who had earlier raped her might come back again,” Adanbioje said.
The Punch reports;
The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Victor Babayemi, who paraded the suspects, said police investigation had shown that rape cases had been rampant at the institution.
He said the police were still probing such cases of rape and why they were not reported to the police.
Babayemi said the police would thoroughly investgate the fresh rape incident and allow justice to take its course.
The PPRO said, “A group of four young men namely, Aralepo Kunle, Akomolafe Oluwaseun (both ND II Business Administration students), Kehinde Adeyemi and Ayo Olomola, aka AY Bishop, who was expelled from the school in March for rape went to the house of a female student of the polytechnic, broke her door to gain entry, tied her hands and legs and gang-raped her.
“A security guard at the polytechnic, Seyi Adanbioje, 28, was also found to be part of the gangsters. He was told to take the girl to the police station and make a report but he took a detour to his house, where he also raped the victim.”
He said medical report confirmed that the victim was raped.
dis is tooo bad of dem
special thakz to the police force who are bringing justice even to our institution. I will also encorage other state like d easthern states to emulate Godly behaviour to improve gud work of d force men.am also suggestin dat d girl in question should be giving a properlly medically attended to then carry d nigerian justice on d rapists since they intensionally did it.and also d school authurity should be very careful on the type of personality that they want to employ as a school security official,also if possible try to give adheasive training to those school security officials for atleast 1ns or twice in a year to help them be free 4rm any side curruption and be what they are..(From Unizik Awka)
it’s so unfortunate that this ND1 girl got such an unfair treatment from fate, first of all the suspects or school authority should make sure that the girl in question is physically and psycologically attended to, then any other thing can follow…
