A 55-year-old security guard, Yekini Ogunjobi has been
arrested by Lagos State Police Command, for alleged unlawful detention of a
14-year-old girl in his apartment for four days. According to the police said
Ogunjobi raped the victim during her detention before she was rescued from the
apartment on Esuola Street, Oko-Oba, in the Agege area of Lagos.
The victim, who is
an apprentice tailor in the neighbourhood, was sent on an errand on
Esuola Street, when the suspect hypnotised and lured her into a room and raped
her for four days.
It was gathered that Blessing’s family, who had declared her
missing, had reported to the police. However, on July 28, one of her relatives
was said to be passing by the street when she sighted her and raised the alarm.
The relative reported to the police, who rescued the girl and arrested
Ogunjobi.
On Tuesday, Ogunjobi was brought before an Ikeja Chief
Magistrate’s Court by a police prosecutor, Sergeant Rafael Donny, on two counts
bordering on abduction and rape.
The charge read, “That you, Yekini Ogunjobi, between July 25
and 28, 2016, on Esuola Street, Oko-Oba, Agege, Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial
District, did commit felony to wit: abduction. That you, on the same date time
and place, in the aforementioned magisterial district, did unlawfully detain a
14-year-old girl and have sexual intercourse with her against her consent,
thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 259 of the Criminal Law
of Lagos State, 2011.”
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge and elected
summary trial.
The presiding Chief Magistrate, Mr. Tajudeen Elias, granted
him bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum. Elias adjourned
the case till October 6, 2016 for mention.
