A commercial motorcyclist, Jacob Damilare, has been arrested by the Osun State Police Command for having unlawful carnal knowledge of a female passenger, who engaged his services on the campus of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.
The victim, whose name was not disclosed, while going to Moro, reportedly engaged the services of Damilare from the OAU campus around 7:05 on July 26.
However, on getting to the RCC Junction along the Ilesa-Ibadan Expressway, in Ile-Ife, the motorcyclist, allegedly diverted to the bush, robbed the passenger of her belongings, raped and shaved her pubic hair.
Responding to the questions from PUNCH Metro, Damilare admitted committing the offence, adding that the victim, a student of OAU, spoke arrogantly to him when he made love advances to her during the journey.
He said, “I asked her out, but she spoke rudely to me. It was because of the way she spoke to me that made me divert into the bush. I gave her two options, to either allow me to have sex with her or she gives me money. She agreed that I should have sex with her.”
Parading the suspect alongside others arrested for various crimes across the state at the command headquarters in Osogbo on Wednesday, the Osun police spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, said Damilare, after committing the crime, threatened to kill the victim if she dared report the incident to the security agents.
