The Ogun police command has arrested three young men for allegedly gangraping a teenager in Pata, Ifo area of the state.
The suspects Oluwaseun Damilohun, 20; Oriyomi Damilohun, 19; and Oluwasegun Idowu, 18, were arrested on Wednesday after the incident was reported at Ifo Police station by one Alimi Olasunkanmi an administrative officer of the Ogun State So-Safe Corps.
Olasunkanmi had informed the police that the three brothers waylaid the girl while she went to take a bath at Odo-Pata stream, at Pata Abiodun village in Ifo Local government area at about 10:00 am.
Abimbola Oyeyemi, Ogun Police Spokesman, said the suspects dragged the victim forcefully into a nearby bush, where they “took turns to have sex with her against her consent.”
According to Daily Post, “While the devilish act was going on, one of them was video-recording the act with a threat that if the victim dares to report, they would upload it on the internet,” Oyeyemi said.
Upon the report, the DPO of Ifo, CSP Adeniyi Adekunle, reportedly led his men to the scene with some So Safe Corps members and got the suspects arrested.
Oyeyemi revealed that the trio “have all confessed to the commission of the crime.”
Meanwhile, Edward Ajogun, who is the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, has directed the immediate transfer of the suspects to anti-human trafficking and child labour unit.
