A
21-year-old man who allegedly raped a female student of the College of
Education, Ikere-Ekiti on September 17, has turned himself in, police said
Friday.
The suspect was said to have committed the
crime at about 8.00 p.m. while conveying the victim, who was returning from a
hospital where she had gone for medical treatment.
She was at the time the only passenger in the
mini bus well known in local parlance as Akoto.
Mr. Ojolo, according to police report, suddenly
changed his direction into a nearby bush where he raped the student.
The incident caused a fight between students of
the college and commercial drivers at Ikere Ekiti.
The uproar, which resulted in the destruction
od properties, led the college’s management to close down the school
indefinitely.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Alberto
Adeyemi, a Superintendent of Police, on Friday said the suspect was being held
by the police.
Mr. Adeyemi said Ojolo turned himself to the
palace of the Ogoga of Ikere, Oba Adejimi Adu Alagbado, who then handed him
over to the Police.
“Yes, the suspect is with us; the matter is under
investigation and by the time we round off our investigation, the suspect will
be charged to court,” he said.
