Amotekunnabs two friends for allegedly gang raping teenager

OPERATIVES of the Western Nigeria Security Network Agency, codenamed “Amotekun Corps” in Osun State, yesterday, arrested two young men for allegedly gang raping a teenage girl and filming her during the act.

The suspects, Olamilekan Elijah, aged 23, and his friend, Afeez Adegoroye 24, were alleged to be members of a secret Buccaneer, Alora Confraternity.

Field Commandant of Amotekun in the state, Comrade Amitolu Shittu, said the case was reported on May 14 at Iwo Local Command of the corps, and that operatives swung into action before the suspects were nabbed.

Shittu said: “Elijah is from Ola- Ejigbo, while Adegoroye Afeez is from Oba’s compound, Bodeosi.

The victim, an apprentice in Iwo, living on Oke- Bode area of the community, was lured to the house of one of Adegoroye.

The 17- year- old girl was raped and filmed by the two suspects.

“After the act, the suspects threatened the victim that the video recording will be released on social media, if she informed anybody of what transpired.

“Her phone was seized and taken to the Police in Iwo by the suspects ( for reasons not yet known).

“Our investigations revealed to us that the two suspects are members of the Buccaneers confraternity, otherwise known as the Alora. The suspects said they only wanted to be ‘ fine’ with the girl.”

It was gathered that the girl was experiencing her menstrual period when she visited Adegoroye.
