The police in Ogun State have arrested one Anthony John, 35, and 21-year-old Jimoh Idowu for allegedly gang raping their neighbor’s 16-year-old daughter.
According to command’s spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspects were arrested following a complaint by the victim, who reported that she was at home with her younger siblings at Efunye village via Owode-Egba, when the two suspects, who are living in the same house with them broke into their apartment at about 2:00am and dragged her into Anthony’s room.
She stated further that the duo knew that her parents had travelled and they capitalized on that to forcefully break into their room, using cloth to cover her mouth after which they took her to Anthony’s room where they took turns to have carnal knowledge of her.
“On interrogation, the two suspects confessed to the commission of the crime without any sense of remorse. The victim has been taken to Owode-egba general hospital for medical treatment,” he said.
