The Police in Osun State have arrested and detained a teacher, Mr Gbenga Samson Ayenioye and his friend, a theatre practitioner, Mr Tunde Amokeoja for allegedly raping a teenage girl.
Daily Mail gathered that Ayenioye, who was a teacher at Osogbo Grammar School, invited the 16-year-old girl who happened to be one of his students, to a relaxation centre at Latona area in Osogbo on February 16, 2020 where he allegedly had canal knowledge of her.
It also gathered that Ayenioye introduced the girl to his friend, AmokeOja, a theatre practitioner on the premise that he would assist her in developing her film acting skills in order to be able to raise funds for her WAEC fee.
On February 18, 2020, AmokeOja, a film production manager, allegedly asked the teenage girl to meet him at Delightful Gold hotel along Onibueja road in Osogbo to feature in a film.
The girl was said to have honoured the invitation at the hotel where she was allegedly raped by AmokeOja in one of the hotel rooms when she was asked to go and change her dress.
The duo threatened their victim not to disclose her ordeal to anyone and advised her to take water with plenty salt after which the girl bled for 15 days following the incident.
During a counselling programme organised by a Non-governmental organisation in Osun State, Value Female Network (VFN) for young girls on sexual reproductive health and rights, the victim was said to have divulged her ordeals to the NGO officials.
It was further learnt that the suspects were arrested by the Dugbe Police station for interrogation upon the victim’s complaints. The matter was later transferred to the Criminal Investigative Department of the Police Force in Osogbo.
The two suspects have been detained at the CID in Osogbo while the Family Unit of the CID is working on their arraignment.
