Alfa Isiaka had visited the victim’s hairdressing salon shop at Orita-Aperin, Ibadan. On sighting her, Alfa professed that he saw calamities before her and told her that only spiritual deliverance could save her from the impending danger.
Gullibly, Nafisat agreed to follow the Islamic cleric to his house at Oja’ba, where unknown to her, Alfa Isiaka was alleged to have had a carnal knowledge of her while she slept off.
Nafisat woke up to the reality that someone had slept with her, while according to her, she was unconscious of happenings around her.
Recounting her ordeal at the police station, Nafisat, according to sources, said that the only thing she could remember was that she was given a drink and after consumption, she couldn’t recollect anything until after she woke up to discover that Alfa had allegedly had s*x with her.
The victim had since reported at the Mapo police station, Ibadan and is currently under investigation, while the suspect is currently at large. Police sources however, informed Crime & Security that efforts were at advance stage to apprehend the suspect.
“There is obviously an increase in r*pe cases these days, apparent of which is the increase in awareness, because victims nowadays come out to report unlike before when we only heard about r*pe cases, but the victims would be afraid to come out and speak. I don’t think r*pe victims should be ashamed of speaking out.
Anytime there is a r*pe or defilement case, the case is always transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) Iyaganku, Ibadan because of the importance attached to it.
In a related development, one Yetunde (Surname witheld), of Ilupeju area, Ibadan, Oyo State, was also defiled last week. Olapade, Crime & Security learnt left home in company of her brothers and sisters to watch a masquerade show. While returning, Olapade said some criminals accosted her and dragged her to one corner where three of them defiled her and ran away.
All efforts made by the patrol team to arrest the hoodlums proved abortive.
