Rape victim not our student – OAU

The management of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, said on Tuesday that the female passenger raped and robbed around the campus was not a student.

The female passenger boarded a motorcycle around the OAU campus some days ago on her way to Moro, a nearby town. But the motorcyclist raped and robbed her of her belongings.

The Osun State Police Command said it has arrested the motorcyclist, 29-year-old Damilare Jacob. The police command’s spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, claimed that the suspect has confessed to the crime. The suspect could not be reached to comment on the police claim.
