Three young men have been arrested for gang raping a
16 year old virgin in Orile area of Lagos while on her way from school. The
suspects identified as Sunday Simeon, 18, from Akwa Ibom state; Adebayo Omoniyi
18, from Ondo state; Nnaemeka Uzodinma 24, from Imo state and Seyi (surname
unknown) who is currently on the run attacked, abducted and gang raped the
victim who is a JSS 3 student on June 23, 2015.
Vanguard learnt that the suspects attacked the
victim after one of the suspects; Adebayo took the victim’s phone around
Arikeuyo junction while returning from school at Orile. It was gathered that
while the victim was struggling with Adebayo, his partners-in-crime dragged her
into a tricycle and rode her to no 15 Unity Close in Orile Iganmu. When they
got there they took off her school uniform and raped her one after the other starting
from Adebayo.
Vanguard gathered that after successfully raping the
victim, one of the suspects Adebayo suggested to the other gang members that
they kill the victim and throw her corpse into the canal so that she won’t
expose them. But another member of the gang, Seyi pleaded with them to be
cautious with Adebayo’s advice, instead advice his colleagues to threaten the
victim rather than kill her.
Hearkening to Seyi’s advice the suspects threatened
to kill her with a cutlass if she ever mentioned to anyone what they did to her
or that they gang raped her. Later they collected her phone number and rode her
back to Alako area in Orile while Sunday gave her N100 to board a commercial
vehicle home.
According
to a source close to the family who spoke to Vanguard on the condition of
anonymity said: “when the victim came back from school it was obvious that
something was wrong as she was walking with difficulty, her uniform torn, she
was bleeding because she sustained severe bruises all over her vagina”.
“Her
parents who saw her torn uniform and noticed the way she walked asked what had
happened to her and she told them how she was attacked by four men who raped
her on her way back from school. Immediately her father took her to Orile
Divisional Police station to report the incidence. Fortunately while she was at
the station with her father the suspects kept calling and threatening to kill
her if she told anyone what they did to her”.
Meanwhile the victim was taken to Ifelodun Ajeromi
Government Hospital where she received treatment after a series of test were
carried out on her which confirmed that he has been sexually abused.
Vanguard learnt that the police advised her to lure
the suspects who were calling and threatening her by telling them that she was
coming to see them again after school the next day. Unknown to them that it was
a trap and that her parents had notified the police, they bought the idea.
At the agreed time she went there with the
detectives who succeeded in arresting one of the suspect’s Nnaemeka Uzodinma,
his arrest eventually led to the arrest of two others. It was gathered that the
victim’s blood stained pant and the cutlass which was used to threaten her have
been recovered from the suspects one-room apartment in Orile. The suspects who
are currently being investigated at the State Criminal Investigation
Department, yaba, Panti would soon be arraigned in court.
