The Lagos State Police Command has
arrested a 22-year-old man, Babajide Bashorun, for allegedly kidnapping a
female undergraduate of the University of Lagos, Akoka, and raping her.
The police said Bashorun, a dog breeder,
did not only rape his victim, he also took snapshot of her nudity,
which he allegedly posted on the Internet.
A family source said, “Few days later,
the pictures were all over the Internet. The picture had the name and
surname of the girl, her university, age, department and course of
study. People were stopping her on the campus to tell her they had seen
her nude pictures on the Internet.
“The girl’s relations later saw the pictures and urged her parents to report the mater at Adeniji Adele Police Division.”
Policemen from the station subsequently arrested Bashorun.
A senior officer from the station, who
pleaded anonymity, said that the police were still on
the trail of two undergraduates of UNILAG.
The duo, identified as Mayowa and
Ademuyiwa, both 400 level Architecture students, were accused by the
police of complicity in the crime.
Detectives from Adeniji Adele Police
Station are working on the theory that the pictures were leaked to the
Internet through the duo of Mayowa and Ademuyiwa.
Bashorun had said he only sent the snapshots of the girl to Mayowa, who in turn sent them to Ademuyiwa.
The dog breeder, who denied beating his victim, said they had been dating for long and he had spent a lot of money on her.
He said, “She is my girlfriend. I wanted
to buy ipad for her. I was able to raise about N70,000. She came to my
house to collect the money on that day.
“We had argument and I used floor mop to
hit her on her back. I now took her pictures. I sent the pictures to my
friend, but I didn’t tell him to post the pictures on internet.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ngozi Braide, confirmed the arrest of Bashorun.
She said, “We charged him to court yesterday (Tuesday) . We are still looking for his accomplices who are on the run-punchng
