How 19-year-old varsity student allegedly drugged friend for others to rape
The Police command in Ondo State has arrested two students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, over an alleged rape of a 20-year-old student.
DSP Olushola Ayanlade said preliminary findings show the victim was invited to the home of her long-time friend, Queen Sodo, a 19-year-old student of the same institution.
According to him, the victim trusted their long relationship, which began in secondary school and continued into university.
Ayanlade said the victim accepted a drink given by her friend, later discovered to have been drugged, leaving her unconscious.
“After noticing the victim had become incapacitated, Queen Sodo reportedly left the room, invited her male accomplice, and kept watch while the crime occurred,” he said.
Ayanlade said a neighbour rescued the victim after hearing unusual noises from the room and found her unconscious with the male suspect.
He explained that the victim received urgent medical attention and was later referred to a specialist hospital, where she is recovering.
“Both suspects have confessed to their involvement and described their specific roles in the crime,” he said.
He added that key exhibits, including the drug-laced drink, were recovered and identified by the victim and the suspects.
Ayanlade said the suspects remain in lawful custody and will be transferred to the Gender Desk Office for further investigation and prosecution.
“The command assures the public that offenders will face the full weight of the law, regardless of familiarity with their victims,” he said.
He urged parents and guardians to educate their children on caution in relationships, noting that even long friendships may be exploited for criminal acts.NAN
