The Ondo state police command have arrested a 20 year old man for
allegedly raping a pregnant National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member
at Imoru in Ose local government area of the state.
The suspected
rapist, identified as Tumi Ayileka who said he is an Okada rider was
among 27 suspected criminals paraded by the State Commissioner of
Police, Isaac Eke during his monthly press conference held in Akure, the
State Capital yesterday.
According to Eke, the rape victim (name withheld) boarded a motorcycle from Ifon to Imoru where she was posted to by the NYSC.
He narrated that the suspected rapist allegedly dragged her into the bush and forcefully had unlawful carnal knowledge of her.
The suspect who confessed to the crime said he raped the corps member unknowingly.
He
said it was his first time of committing the crime, adding that he even
still drove the victim home after the act had been carried out.
He
said, “she approached me around 7.p.m at Ifon that I should take her to
Imoru community where she serves and I obliged after agreeing on N500
charges fee. On our away going, I don’t know the spirit that fell on me
and I don’t know when I rode her inside the bush and have carnal
knowledge of her.
“Immediately after that incident, the spirit
went off and I was ashamed of myself. I didn’t know she was pregnant
before and I even took her home. Later on, she reported to the Police
station and I was arrested. I don’t know the spirit that fell on me
because I have never done that before”.
The Police Commissioner
assured that the suspect would soon be charged to court as soon as the
judiciary workers end their industrial strike.
