The three men raped the 15-year-old girl as a ritual to initiate her into the Eye Confraternity.
While speaking to the press, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi said the three cultists were arrested last Thursday. They are identified as, Daniel Njoku, aka Agege; Damilare Ogundiran, and Adebayo Olamilekan.
They were arrested following a report lodged by the victim’s mother at the Ajuwon divisional headquarters.
Oyeyemi said that the woman reported sending her daughter on an errand, but the boys abducted her, took her to their hideout, and beat and gang-raped her. They afterward forcefully initiated her.
He said:
The complainant further explained that her daughter was threatened by the suspects that she would be killed if she dared to inform anybody about the incident.
Upon the report, the DPO Ajuwon division, SP Andrew Akinseye, detailed his detectives to go after the hoodlums.
The team, acting on credible intelligence, located the hideout of the group at the Akute-Odo area, stormed the place and succeeded in arresting three members of the gang.
The suspects have confessed to the crime. They informed the police that they were desperately looking for more members to join their group, especially female members, and that was what prompted them to do what they did.
