22-year-old female student of the University of
Lagos, Tolulope Titiloye, who was kidnapped and
raped by three friends, who later posted her
nude photos on the social media, is now in court
to get justice.
Three friends – Bashorun Babajide, Aje
Olumayowa, and Babajide Ajayi – had molested
her, took photos of her without clothes and
threatened to share the photos if she exposed
them. Tolulope had kept quiet about the sad
incident but trouble started when her family
members saw her nude photos on the internet.
Within few days of the upload, the nude
photographs went viral on social media,
exposing Tolulope to ridicule and shame.
Consequently, the three bad guys were rounded
up and arrested. They have been arraigned
before the Tinubu Magistrate's Court, Lagos
State, for kidnapping and raping.
According to police, after assaulting her,
Babajide, Mayowa and Ajayi also attempted to
murder Tolulope on the day of the incident in
April, 2013.
Hence, they were arraigned for kidnap, rape,
assault, battery, unlawful detention and
attempted murder. When the charges were read
to them, the three friends pleaded not guilty.
Magistrate S.K Matepo granted them bail in the
sum of N100,000 with two sureties each and
adjourned the case till October 2 for hearing.
