A 30-year-old man, simply recognized as Adeji
is now cooling his heels in a cell at the
Criminal Investigation Department of the Oyo
State Police Command, Iyaganku for allegedly
raping his neighbour’s pregnant wife.
Mary (other names withheld), a 23-year-old
mother of two kids who is carrying a three-
month old pregnancy was a victim of the
suspect’s untamed libido.
Adeji waylaid the pregnant woman when she
was returning from the stream in Sanusi
village, Idi-Ayunre, Ibadan, where they are both
neighbours.
It was gathered that Mary attempted to escape
but was overpowered and raped by Adeji,
despite her pleas that she was pregnant.
After the illicit act, Adeji attempted to bribe
her not to spill the beans, offering N500. He
then fled the scene, leaving behind his pair of
slippers.
Prior to the incident, Sunday Sun learnt that
the suspect had been luring and making
advances to Mary.
Mary’s husband had earlier lodged a complaint
with the village head who issued Adeji a
serious warning to desist from the damnable
act, but he was not deterred.
After the incident, the victim was rushed to
Adeoyo Hospital for medical examination after
which a report was made at the Idi-Ayunre
Police Division.
Policemen later visited the crime scene and
eventually apprehended the suspect.
Adeji, however, told Sunday Sun that the
housewife was his girlfriend and that they had
been in a relationship before the incident. A top
police source who confirmed the incident told
Sunday Sun that the suspect would be charged
to court once investigations were concluded. He
added that the police would not relent in its
drive to rid Oyo State of rapists terrorizing
women in the state…
