The Ondo State Police Command have arrested four

undergraduate students for alleged gang rape of a 

female student of the Adeyemi College of Education (ACE) in the state.

The suspects were identified as Olakunle Adetuyi, Timilehin

Akinola, Tobi Olagbaju and Adebisi Adeyemi, all aged between 24 and 26. A fifth culprit, Eric Nwage, is still at large.

The victim, a 22-year-old History and English student is 

also an estranged girlfriend to Timilehin Akinola of the

 social studies department in the same college.

Parading the suspects before newsmen in Wednesday ,

 at the command headquarters in Akure, Hilda Ibifuro-Harrison, the Ondo State Commissioner of Police said the victim was lured to the home of Olagbaju, who is a part-time student of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Owo.

After the student arrived at Olagbaju’s residence located at No. 17, Funbi Fagun Housing Estate in Ondo town, they took turns raping her.

A very close friend to the victim reported the case to the school private security outfit, who later arrested the 

culprits and after a discreet investigation handed them 

over to the police for prosecution.

“One of the suspects, Olakunle, took a video of their

heinous crime as they took turns on their victim one after

the other, and later abandoned her and threatened that

they would use charms on her if she ever revealed the

incident to anyone." said Mrs. Ibifuro-Harrison.

"The phone and charms used in perpetrating the crime

were recovered and the case was transferred to the

Department of Criminal Investigation," the police

commissioner said.

She added that the victim, whose name was withheld, is

currently recuperating at the hospital in Ile Ife, Osun State.

In his confession, Mr. Akinola admitted that he and his 

friends raped the victim.

“I have been a close friend to her (the victim) and always

advised her to shun her wayward attitude, but she

wouldn't listen. One day, she called me after the class

lecture and said that we should hang out. I later invited

her to my friend’s place where we forcefully took turns

over her,” he said.
