The mother of the victim Mrs. Makinde Oluwatobi, 36, a petty trader, narrated her shocking experience to our correspondent: “I sent my daughter to buy gari that night for the family to eat, not knowing she had been abducted. I searched for her all the night but couldn’t see her. It was early the next morning that people came to call us that our daughter was found laying on the ground and bleeding. These boys have killed me; my daughter was treated like this.” She wailed.

The suspect Lasisi Ibrahim confessed that truly, they were three in number who slept with the young girl.

“I know her very well in the area and she also knows me well too. I don’t know what came over me before I joined in the act. She is more or less my sister,” he claimed.
