An admin staff member of the Ogun State College of Health Technology, Ilese, Olawale Jamiu, has been arrested by men of the state police command for having unlawful carnal knowledge of a student (name withheld).
The 39-year-old suspect was arrested following a report lodged at the Ilese Ijebu divisional headquarters by the management of the college.
The victim had gone to the school to collect her school file from the office of the suspect, when he dragged her into the file room and forcefully had sex with her.
She immediately after reported the incident to her guardian, who in turn reported to the authorities of the college.
Upon the report, the Divisional Police Officer, Ilese division, CSP Amuda Ajibola, detailed his detectives to the college where the suspect was promptly arrested.
“On interrogation, the suspect who initially denied the allegation was dumbfounded when confronted with the apologetic message he sent to the victim after his devilish act,” the command’s spokesman, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said in a statement.
The victim has been taken to State Hospital, Ijebu Ode, for medical treatment.
The Commissioner of Police, Edward Awolowo Ajogun, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labour unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation and diligent prosecution.
