The
Police in Ekiti State have arrested a student of College of Health
Technology, Ijero Ekiti, Busayo Kayode, who allegedly took her bossom friend to
be gang-raped by 10 suspected cult members in a bush on the school premises.
The
police said Kayode, who is a member of AVE (Act Very Effective) cult, was in
charge of recruiting female students of the institution.
According
to a detective, who pleaded not to be named, part of the initiation process is
that female students are blindfolded and gang-raped by cult members.
“They
are thereafter warned to shut their mouth as initiates or risk losing their
lives. But the last victim defied the threat and reported to her parents who
informed the police, which led to the arrest of three of the cult members,” he
added.
A
source in the school said many female students had suffered similar fate, but
kept their mouths shut to avoid stigmatisation.
Kayode
and three of the suspected rapists were among the 26 suspects paraded on
Wednesday by the Commissioner of Police in Ekiti, Wilson Inalegwu.
