Odutola quoted the girlfriend as saying that Akeem tactically left the room and that within the blink of an eye, “The owner of the room, Suleiman Olaniyi, a member of the Eiye confraternity, bashed into the room” and ordered her to lie down as he “wanted to have carnal knowledge of her against her wish.

“Her scream attracted neighbours, who forced the door open and rescued her. Her underwear was torn, but penetration failed due to her struggling and eventual rescue.”
