“They even threatened me that they had the recordings of the escapade, and would upload the videos on the social media if I told anyone about the incident. I couldn’t keep the incident to myself. I have to confide in one of my friends, who then reported the issue to the police. The boys were tracked and arrested. The name of the one I know is Eyitayo. He had once wooed me, but I rebuffed his advances.”
The suspects, Aderoboye Damilola, Eyitayo Charles and Blessing Michael, allegedly committed the crime last Wednesday at the residence of the victim’s boyfriend, which is located outside the school campus.
