Two suspected brothers, Adebayo Tosin, 25, and Adebayo Opeyemi, 19 have been nabbed by the Ogun State Police command for allegedly raping a 19-year-old girl.
The duo reportedly gang-raped the girl, while she was hawking palm oil along the Secretariat Road in Imeko area of the state.
Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Okoye Ikemefuna while narrating how the palm oil hawker was assaulted by the two brothers, said she was stopped by one of the suspects under the pretext of wanting to buy palm oil.
“It was in the process of negotiation that the boy forcefully dragged me into a place where other boys numbering about five joined him and tore my underwear and illegally had carnal knowledge of me,’’ the commissioner quoted the rape victim as having said.
The police commissioner further stated, “On receipt of the information, detectives from the Imeko Division immediately raced to the home of the suspects and arrested two of them while other gang members escaped.”
The Police Commissioner called on the public to be more security conscious and ready at all times to feed security agencies with necessary information.
