Operatives of Western Nigeria Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun Corps in Osun State have arrested two friends, Olamilekan Elijah (23) and Adegoroye Afeez (24) for allegedly gang raping a 17 years old girl.
The duo who claimed to be cocoa and cashew nut sellers confirmed that they were members of Alora Fraternities.
Addressing journalists in Osogbo on Wednesday, the Field Commandant of Amotekun in the state, Comrade Amitolu Shittu, said the case was reported on the 14th of May, 2022 at Iwo Local Command of the corps.
Shittu said: “Olamilekan Elijah is from Ola-Ejigbo while Adegoroye Afeez is from Oba’s compound Bodeosi. The victim is an apprentice at Iwo, living at Oke Bode area of the community. She was lured to the house of one of the suspect, Adegoroye Afeez. The victim was raped by the two suspects and filmed, the suspects threatened the victim that the video recorded will be released on social media if she should inform anybody of what transpired.
“Her phone was ceased and taken to the Police at Iwo by the suspect (reason for this not known yet).
“Our investigations revealed to us that the two suspects are members of the Buccaneers confraternity otherwise known as the Alora.”
Speaking on the incident, Afeez said: “I’m a cocoa seller from Iwo. I am married and have a child. I have known the victim from last year and we have since been in a relationship. I raped her because she would not give consent to my sexual demand on the fated day.
“That was our first time in such act. My friend and myself were in the house, but he didn’t partake in the act.”
Giving his own side of the story, Olamilekan said: “I am also a cocoa seller and married with a child. I did not partake in the act.
“She is Brother Afeez’s girlfriend. We both rented the room. When she came, I was outside to put the generator set on. I later came into the room and met them discussing. Soon, an argument ensued between the two as to sexual advances.
“By this time, I was making a video of myself. The girl hit my phone during the struggle and I held her hands and that was the time Brother Afeez penetrated her.
“I did not partake in it, but I did record the act on my phone. I merely recorded her to teach her a lesson.”
