The Police Public Relations
Officer, Akayi Okasanmi, in an interview with reporters in
Ilorin, on Monday, said the victim, whose name was
kept anonymous and Michael had met on the social media platform and started a
relationship.
He claimed that the girl in her statement, claimed that their relationship was not sex related until Michael invited her to a hotel.
Akayi said, “He later drugged the
girl and slept with her. While she was unconscious, he took photographs
of her nude body. When the girl woke up, she found out that the guy had
raped her. She left in annoyance and vowed not to come back to him.
“When the girl left, the guy called her
for sex. When the girl refused, he threatened to expose her nude
pictures to the public. The girl went to him and pleaded with him to
delete the pictures. He made love to her and went on to forward one of
the pictures to the girl’s father. But the picture was intercepted by
the lady’s older brother who was in possession of the father’s phone at
that time.”
Mr Akayi claimed that after the student returned to school, Michael continued to threaten her.
He said the victim spoke to her pastor
about what she was going through and the latter advised her to play
along so that the suspect could be arrested. Michael was eventually
tricked to come to Ilorin and later, arrested in a hotel.
Okasanmi said, “We laid a trap for him.
He called the lady at about 12.30pm and told her to meet him somewhere.
Maybe he sensed that something was amiss. But eventually we arrested
him in a hotel and took him to my office. By that time it was late.
“I asked an officer from the State
Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department to take his statement
and he confessed. I collected one of his cell phones, searched and
found some of the lady’s nude pictures in it. We made him to write a
statement confirming what he did.
“Later, I left the SCIID officer to
watch the suspect, while I went home to dress because we were expecting
one of our principal officers from Abuja and we were to receive him at
the airport at about 8am. By the time I returned to the office, the
suspect had disappeared. The CID officer told me that he left him in the
care of other people. For that reason, the boy defaulted and he is
going to face trial.”
