The Ogun State Police Command has arrested two suspects, Damilare Oyeniyi, 30, and Emmanuel Okori, 20 for allegedly gang-raping a 19-year-old girl and filming her nude.
The suspects reportedly committed the crime on December 12, 2020, in the Sango area of the State but were arrested four days later by policemen attached to the Sango Divisional Police Office.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident in a statement on Sunday.
Oyeyemi explained that the suspects were arrested following a report lodged at the Sango Police Station by the victim.
He said the victim reported that Oyeniyi and Okori, who were her neighbours, dragged her into the room of one of them, stripped her naked, filmed her nude and took turns to rape her several times.
The police spokesman said, “Upon the report, the DPO of the Sango Division, CSP Godwin Idehai, detailed his detectives to go after the suspects and bring them to book.
“The investigative effort of the detectives paid off on December 16, 2020, when the duo was eventually arrested.
“On interrogation, the two suspects confessed to the crime.
“They confessed that they made a video of her nude, which they used to threaten her not to report or else the video would be posted on social media.
“The state Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, has ordered for the immediate transfer of the suspects to the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation and prosecution.”
