How Man, 29, Brutally R*ped 27-year Old Lady With Down Syndrome

P.M.EXPRESS reports that Police operatives from the Ogun State Command have arrested Abati and detained him over the alleged dastardly act on the victim.

He was arrested for allegedly forcefully having carnal knowledge of the lady and she was said to have bled profusely, which eventually exposed him.

This was disclosed by the Police Public Relations Officer,  SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed that the suspect, Abati was in Police custody undergoing interrogation.

He stated that the suspect, Kunle Abati, was arrested on the 7th December, 2022, following the report lodged at Ilese Ijebu Divisional Headquarters by the mother of the victim, who reported that she sent her daughter on an errand at about 7:30 am, but when she returned, she discovered blood stains on her clothes.

She further asked her daughter to know how she came about the blood stains on her clothes and took her mother to the house of the suspect and explained that the suspect had carnal knowledge of her.

“Upon the report, the DPO Ilese Ijebu, CSP Paul Omiwole, detailed his detectives to go after the suspect and he was subsequently arrested. On interrogation, the suspect confessed to committing the crime, adding that he equally capitalized on the health challenge of the lady to rape her, only for him to discover that she was still a virgin.”

The victim, who was bleeding profusely, was taken to the General Hospital, Ijebu ode, for medical attention and to obtain medical report as the Police may likely charge the suspect for defilement, which attracts several years of imprisonment or life imprisonment if he is tried and found guilty before the Court.

However, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi said that the State Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to Anti Human Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and diligent prosecution.
