A first look at Abdulateef (surname withheld) ,a fragile-looking
16-year-old SSS1,was arrested on January 18, 2015 at Lambe area of Ajuwon,
Ogun State after he allegedly entered the residence of a 52-year-old neighbour
in the dead of the night, dispossessed her of the sum of N16,500 and went ahead
to rape her, not minding the age difference between them.
After satisfying himself, the boy went out, happy with a
mission accomplished and the fact that his elderly neighbour did not see his
face. But unknown to him, the woman recognized him as his neighbour’s teenage
son, though it was dark.
At day break, she put a call through to her husband to
inform him of her experience. The husband went to Ajuwon police station to
report a case of robbery and rape.
When interrogated,
the teenager confessed his deeds and blamed ‘evil spirit’ for his crime. In his
explanation, he said: “I am in SSS 1 at a high school in Ogun State. I live at
Lambe area, Ajuwon with my parents. I am the first born and I have three
younger ones. On January 18, 2015, at about 1a.m., I went to my neighbour’s
house to rob and rape. I never knew she recognised me. I have never carried out
robbery before that day. I don’t know made me do it but I believe I was
propelled by an evil spirit.”
“I entered through
the main door which was usually not locked. The residence was uncompleted. I met
the woman sleeping. She was naked as she slept and the sight aroused me. I woke
her up and asked her to bring all the money she had. I was holding a rod and I
told her that my other gang members were outside, threatening her to cooperate
or she would be dealt with.
“She handed over N16,500 to me, after which I ordered to
lie on the bed. I climbed her and had s3x with her. After about five minutes, I
stood up and left for my house”.
Speaking on the events that followed his action, the teenager said “on the third
day, the woman’s husband called me and warned me not to pass through his
compound again as he wanted to sprinkle charms around his compound. I later saw
policemen who were brought to arrest me.
“I confessed to my parents. I used N5,000 to buy a
phone but
it was not good so I returned it. I used the remaining to eat and entertain
friends.”
The story was confirmed by the Police Public Relations
Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who said that the suspect would be charged to court
when judicial workers
resume from their strike action.
