Three students arrested for gang raping 14-year-old in Ondo

The Ondo Police Command has confirmed the arrest of three secondary school students for raping a 14-year- girl.

The spokesman for Ondo Police Command, SP Fumilayo Odunlami, gave the names of the suspects as Idris Matthew 17; Olawale Tobi 18 years and Ajayi Micheal 17.

Odunlami said the suspects were being held over a conspiracy and defilement.

She said the suspects, who are students of Akure High School, lured the victim into the bush at the back of the school gate and gang-raped her.

The incident was said to have occurred last Thursday within the school premises.

Witnesses said the victim was raped when she went to defecate inside a bush within the school during the break period.

She was reportedly waylaid by the three boys who took turns to have sex with her.

It was bloodstained on the uniform of the girl when she walked back to the classroom that gave the boys away.

Another source said one of the suspects demanded sex from the victim but she turned him down.

The suspect was said to have invited his two friends to join him in raping her in an isolated place.

Police sources said the suspects have been arrested and detained at Juvenile Children Correctional Centre.
