Multiple Rape Cases Recorded In Ekiti State

Suspected Rapists being paraded in Ekiti

The police command in Ekiti State  said the proprietor of a private primary  school, Mr. Ibitoye Babatunde, who was arrested for allegedly raping an 11-year-old pupil of his school, had a case to answer.

Babatunde, who denied the accusation, said a man who saw him while entering into a bush to defecate demanded money from him and he threatened to deal with him if he refused.

He said he refused and the hoodlum raised the alarm which attracted a crowd.

But the Police Public Relations Officer for the State, Mr. Victor Babayemi said the medical report confirmed that the girl’s hymen had been broken.

The police also paraded two commercial motocyclists (okada riders), who were accused of raping a young lady.

The PPRO said the suspect – Babatope and Oluwasusi Tope- gave the girl a free ride and took her to another place where she was raped.

In a related development, the police also said that a 17-year-old boy had been arrested for defiling a three-year-old girl.
