Suspected rapist drugs, attacks pupil inside bush

According to reports, on Wednesday April 30th, the victim who lived with her grandmother, had gone to the bush to pick mangoes when she was accosted by the alleged rapist who begged her for some mangoes. She said she obliged him but afterwards the man demanded for sex which refused. She said the man immediately forced a pill into her mouth which made her unconscious. By the time she woke up, there were machete cuts on her head, legs and wrist.

Explaining what happened, the girl said
"I went to the farm to pick mangoes on the day I was attacked. As I was heading for home, I met a man who asked me to give him some mangoes and I did. The man asked me of my name and I told him my name is Suweba, but my real name is (withheld). The man later said he wanted to have sex with me, but I told him I was too young for that. The man threatened to cut off my head if I didn’t oblige him. He held my head, forced my mouth open and dropped a white pill inside my mouth. I fell down and I became unconscious. I was attacked around 2pm and I woke up when it was getting dark maybe around 7pm. I managed to crawl to the footpath and shouted for help, but none came until the following morning.” she said

Passersby the next morning found the girl on the pathway and then immediately rushed her to the hospital where it was discovered that the wounds she sustained had already started decaying with maggots coming out from it.

Hospital staff, who described the attack as callous, believe the girl could have been attacked 48 hours before she was brought into the hospital and not the previous day as she said because of the maggot infested wound.

There was a gas explosion yesterday at Challenge in Ibadan, Oyo State.

It occurred around 3:15pm.

Four men were injured.

A Volkswagen Passat Saloon Car, marked PH 381 KJA; a Nissan Saloon car, AL 461 AKN; and a commercial motorcycle, marked GBY 278 QB, were burnt.

Residents of Orita Challenge initially thought the explosion, which occurred a few miles away from a police station, was caused by a bomb planted by the Boko Haram sect.

A bomb disposal van, marked NPF 1745-C, was stationed in the area with a team of policemen from the Police Headquarters.

It was discovered that the explosion was caused by a gas leakage from a gas refilling plant, Hephzibah Petroleum Ltd.

The company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mrs. Modupe Ademiluwa, expressed shock over the incident but thanked God that no one died.

Police spokesperson Olabisi Clet-Ilobanafor described it as an industrial accident, saying: “At about 3pm today, the police command was alerted of an explosion. When we got there, we discovered it was an accident from a gas refilling plant. A taxi, a Passat vehicle and an Okada were burnt. It was an industrial accident, not that somebody planted a bomb. Oyo State is safe and calm.”

She urged the public to go about their businesses without fear.
