The Lagos state Police command has arrested 30
year old Olaniyan Oluwakayode (pictured above)
after he allegedly raped a 20 year old girl at his
apartment in the Ifako Ijaiye area of Lagos on
Tuesday September 16th and then allegedly
posted nude pics of the girl online.
According to Vanguard, Olaniyan, a native of Osun
state, claimed the rape victim who hails from
Akwa Ibom state was his girlfriend but the girl
denied this, claiming that he was a random guy
who had asked her out but she refused.
"I have my own boyfriend. He is a guy that
used to stop me any time I was going to
work. He approached me for friendship and I
refused. I did not go to his house as he
alleged. On my way back from work
Tuesday last week, I saw someone running
out of his house. He held my hand saying
he wanted to do what was on his mind. I
asked him why he would do what was on
his mind when I had not even accepted his
advances. He insisted and dragged me
inside the bush. When I wanted to shout, he
brought out a knife and said he would kill
me there. From the bush, he dragged me to
his house and locked the door. He used his
legs to hold my neck, tore my skirt, my
pants and bra, beat me up, and then raped
me. When Oluwakayode’s sister came back
around to 9pm, she asked her brother to
open the door, asking him if he wanted to
kill me. He has been asking me out for a
long time. I was never his girlfriend. I have
my own boyfriend. He raped me; painfully.
Even his sister was crying and he snapped
me immediately and his sister even
threatened to call his mother.” the victim
said
Olaniyan was arrested by officers of the Ifako
Ijaiye Police station and transferred to the
Ministry of Women Affairs. In his defence,
Olaniyan claimed the girl was his girlfriend and
that they only fought but he never raped her
"I only fought with my girlfriend (the victim),
but they are accusing me of raping her. I
never deny the fact that I snapped her
picture when she was naked. We were
fighting. Any other allegation levelled
against me is a big lie. The only thing I did,
which I do not deny, is that I took her nude
photographs. She had been hurting me for a
very long period and we had an issue which
made me delete her number from my phone.
Last week, I got a missed call. I called the
number immediately. When I heard her
voice, I asked her what she wanted. I met
her passing by in June and when I asked for
her phone number, she gave it to me. She
even came to my house and we sat outside
and talked. She agreed to date me. There
was a day we spoke on phone and she was
asking me if I had an apartment. I told her
that I didn’t want to rush into anything that I
wanted to settle down in my business. I do
branding in my house at Ifako. They said I
raped her; one thing is that I have
conscience and she also has conscience:
our conscience will judge. I never denied
beating her. I did beat her with my head on
her face and on her back when she held my
manhood. All the allegations of bringing out
powder, a knife and belt are lies. I have
conscience and she has too. That’s all.” he
