Man on the run for raping three girls

THE INCIDENT AREA

Firstclass newsline gathered that Residents of Omojoda Community in
the Adamo, Ikorodu area of Lagos have organised a search party to
apprehend a middle-aged man, identified as Segun, akaMago, who
allegedly raped three girls before fleeing the area.
Firstclass newsline learnt that the police at the Sagamu Road Division
and the Area N Command, Ijede, where the residents reported the
matter, have also launched a manhunt for the suspected rapist.
Firstclass newsline learnt that the suspect, after allegedly raping
his victims, cleaned the mess with a white handkerchief before
bringing the girls back home.
When firstclass newsline got to the area on Saturday, theBaale, Alhaji
Adebola Kazeem, alleged that Segun also belonged to a cult, and had
brought his gang members to rob the residents on several occasions.
He said, "It is not only in Omojoda that the man raped young girls. We
believe he is also a cultist because he has led a gang to rob us
several times. Reports got to us that he also raped some girls in the
neighbouring Imure and Isiwu areas.
"If the police do not arrest him, there is fear that he might rape
more young girls. Another thing he does is to clean the mess with a
handkerchief. It was since the last rape incident on Friday, April 17,
that he fled the area.
"The community is looking for him to hand him over to the police. What
he now does is to send his gang to rob residents. Last week, a man's
motorcycle was snatched in the early morning, and another woman
returning from her shop was robbed."
Speaking with firstclass newsline, the mother of one of the victims,
Adijat Akande, said she had sent her daughter on an errand in the
area, but was shocked when she learnt that the girl had been
kidnapped.
She said, "Whenever I sent her out at night, I would give her money to
take a motorcycle. Fortunately on that day, she went with a phone.
When I expected her to return, I tried her number, but it kept on
saying 'user busy'. Later, a boy named Samuel ran to our house and
raised the alarm that my daughter had been kidnapped.
"We began to search everywhere for her. After about an hour, we saw
her staggering home. She slumped in front of the community mosque.
When I rushed her to a private hospital, she was rejected and we were
referred to a government hospital.
"When we got to Ikorodu that night, we were asked to come back the
following day as they had a lot of emergencies. It was that same night
that I reported to the police station."
The teenager, who spoke briefly with firstclass newsline, said Segun
threatened to kill her if she raised the alarm.
She said, "He came on a motorcycle and met me at a junction. He said I
should climb the motorcycle and that if I shouted, he would kill me.
So, we went away to a bush in the Aleke area where he did it."
In a medical report from the General Hospital, Ikorodu, on April 20,
2015, signed by one Dr. Junaid, and obtained by a source, the incident
was confirmed.
"Upon examination, it was found that a young girl is in distress. No
seminal fluid or bloodstains was found on her thighs or vulva, and
hymen not intact," the report read.
When firstclass newsline got to the suspect's house, his mother, who
declined to give her name, said she had not seen Segun since the day
of the incident.
She said, "I dont have much explanation. I have not seen him since the
day of the incident. Whether he did it or not, that is left to God."
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, said he would
get back to firstclass newsline on the matter. He, however, had yet to
get back as of press time.
