Two Use Magical Ring To Gang Rape Student

Two young men have been remanded in
Agodi Prison by an Ibadan Magistrate Court
for allegedly using a magical ring to abduct
and gang-rape a 19-year-old secondary
school girl in Ibadan.
The two suspects, according to a police
source, were charged with conspiracy,
rape and stealing of a Blackberry phone
belonging to the victim.
The rape victim said she closed from school at
Wofun Iyana Church, and was accosted by the
suspects who insisted she should follow them to
their residence. But, when she refused, one of them
allegedly used a magical ring to hit her on the chest
and she was unconscious.
"There is a boy who was not my boy friend. He was
a student in that school about two years ago. His
name is Biola. He had wanted to date me several
times which I politely turned down. Just last
Wednesday, when I closed from school, Biola came
to me in company of two unidentified boys and said
his mum wanted to see me.
"'I asked him what led to the invitation by his mum.
I then told him I would not go. Then, one of the two
other guys who had a ring on his hand hit me on
the chest and I was unconscious. They took me to
the residence of one of the two boys and raped me.
"Before raping me, they gave me alcoholic drink
and after the crime had been committed, they gave
me 'covenant water' threatening me that I would
die if I told anybody of the act."
A top policeman who claimed anonymity because
he was not instructed to speak, confirmed the story,
saying: "On May 15 at 0815 hours, one Adekola
living on Akanbi Street, Molade area of Ibadan
reported that his younger sister and a secondary
school student went to school and did not return
home. All efforts to trace her proved abortive.
"Then about 23:00 hours, an unanimous caller
called through the victim's GSM number and
identified himself as kidnapper and demanded
N6,000. The DCO led other policemen and the
victim was rescued."
She was unconscious and was rushed to a nearby
hospital. She later narrated how she was kidnapped
and gang-raped by three persons. Two arrests have
been made while the third suspect is still at large.
The two suspects have been charged to court."
