The
police have paraded one Chidi Okoye Christian, for alleged rape of female
students of the Ekiti State University (EKSU).
The
suspect, who is not a student of the university, was arrested and paraded with
his accomplice, Odunmbaku Kayode.
Smartphones,
ATM cards, a Raleigh bicycle, a cutlass and a pistol were recovered from him.
Speaking
at Iworoko Divisional Headquarters, Chief Security Officer at EKSU, Captain
Tunde Ajayi (rtd), said seven students had been raped by Okoye in the last
three months.
Ajayi,
who was flanked by the Investigating Police Officer, said most of the victims
live in nearby Iworoko.
The EKSU
guard noted that the suspect usually carries a pistol with which he threatens
his victims.
Ajayi
said: “With a good knowledge of the neighbourhood where Okoye himself resides,
it was easy for him to unleash terror in the middle of the night and return to
his room, which he shared with an accomplice, Kayode Odunmbaku.
“Okoye
confessed, and he was identified by his father, who told the police that the
suspect has been a wayward boy who ran away from home.
“The duo
will be charged to court as soon as police conclude investigation”, the CSO
added.
