The missing two teenage girls who
were allegedly tortured and raped
by some men in Ondo town, Ondo
State, have returned home.
The girls were declared missing after a
video of their unclothedness and torture
was uploaded on social media platforms
by five men who had been remanded in
custody for the rape.
The accused – Bode Akinsiku, Olabanji
Femi, Abiodun Ayodele, Fadairo Wahab,
and Adedayo Adebayo – were alleged to
have lured the two teenagers to the
house of one of them on Kogbona Street
in the town, where the victims were
allegedly raped and tortured.
The two raped girls and one other
teenager alleged on Tuesday that they
were abducted shortly after the rape
trial started.
They alleged that the wife of one of the
suspects, Toyin Akinsiku, and one Imole,
masterminded their abduction.
The teenagers said Akinsiku took them
to an unidentified woman in Lagos
State, who used them for prostitution
and menial jobs.
One of them said, “We were going back
home in company with one of our
friends, Posi, on the day when the two
women forced us to climb an okada and
took us towards the Awoyaya area along
Ondo-Ore Road in Ondo town, where we
later boarded a bus to Lagos.
“Our abductors handed us over to a
woman who specialised in hotel
business and forced us to become
prostitutes in the hotel. We take more
than 15 men on a daily basis and the
woman gave us N500 every day.
“At times, we were made to hawk
sachet water. But when it was weekend,
we were inside the hotel for business.
We later ran away from the hotel.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer,
Mr Femi Joseph, who confirmed the
return of the girls, said Toyin had been
arrested and would be charged to court
for kidnapping.
He said, “The girls were abducted in
Ondo and taken to Lagos State for
prostitution by the wife of one of the
suspects (Toyin), but the girls managed
to escape.
“We have arrested Mrs Akinsiku, while
the other woman ran away. We will
soon charge her to court for
kidnapping.”
