The police in Ogun State on Tuesday
arrested an officer of the Ogun State Vigilance Service, Liasu Oyedele,
over the alleged rape of a female National Diploma 1 Banking and Finance
student of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta.
The 30-year-old VSO officer is currently detained at the Ibara Police Divisional headquarters.
The suspect, according to some MAPOLY
students, who staged a peaceful protest to the office of the
Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Mrs. Elizabeth
Sonubi, was caught after he had already had carnal knowledge of the
victim, who was said to be in her menstrual period.
The suspect was said to have accosted
the....
student, who had gone for ‘Group Reading’ in preparation for the
institution’s second semester examinations at Alewenu Village,
Onikolobo, Abeokuta, around 10pm on Monday.
The placard-bearing protesters alleged
that despite the fact that the victim was menstruating at the time,
Oyedele allegedly raped her for close to two hours.
The victim, reportedly exhausted as a
result of the rape, was said to have been rescued from the grip of the
suspect by passers-by, who rushed her to an undisclosed hospital for
treatment.
However, none of the officials of the state government was available to address the protesting students.
Addressing the MAPOLY students, the
State Coordinator of the Child Protection Network, Peju Osoba, condemned
the incident, describing the act as a crime against the state.
