From Lateef Dada, Osogbo
A 22-year-old man, Ismaila Raheem, who was alleged to have raped a girl in Osogbo, Osun State, confessed that the raped the victim because she dumped him for yahoo boy.
The suspect who was paraded by the Osun State Commissioner of Police, Olawale Olokode, said the victim has been her friend before she met a yahoo boy and has refused to talk to him.
"We have been friends before. But, when she met the yahoo boy, she said I don't have money like the boy. I usually give her between N200 and N500. She has never given me the opportunity."
Asked how many times he has raped girls, he said, "this is my first time. I have never involved in raped in my life. I smoked hemp before I went to her house. I took a wood in front of her house that I used as a gun to scare her. I went to beg her the following day when I realised that what I did was bad. She is a sex worker. She is likely to be older than me.
"The way she talked to me infuriated me. She said I don't have money like those that are dating her."
His co-suspect, Akintola Sangokunle (21), who said he didn't know they were going to rape when he followed his friend, confessed that he also had intercourse with the girl.
He said, "he didn't tell me we were going to rape her. We met a man in the room with the lady because the lady is a sex worker. We didn't hurt him. We only asked him to face down. I didn't spend more than three minutes on her."
