Two arrested for gang-raping, filming 19-year-old girl in Ogun

Operatives of the Ogun State Police command have arrested two suspects for gang-raping a 19-year-old girl and filming her nude.

The suspects, Damilare Oyeniyi, 30, and Emmanuel Okori, 20, reportedly committed the crime on December 12, 2020 in the Sango area of the State.

After sexually molesting and filming the victim, they threatened her not to report or else the video would be posted on social media.

The duo were arrested on December 16 by security operatives attached to the Sango Divisional Police Office.

Confirming the arrest in a statement on Sunday, December 20, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the suspects were apprehended following a report lodged at the Sango Police Station by the victim.

The PPRO explained that the teenager reported that Oyeniyi and Okori, who were her neighbours, dragged her into the room of one of them, stripped her naked, filmed her nude and took turns to rape her several times.

Oyeyemi said, “upon the report, the DPO Sango division, CSP Godwin Idehai, detailed his detectives to go after the suspects and bring them to book.

“The investigative effort of the detectives paid off on December 16, 2020, when the duo were eventually arrested.”

On interrogation, the two suspects confessed to the crime.

The State Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation and prosecution.
