The Oyo state police command says it remains resolute in its fight against crime in the state. This is as the command arrested three teenagers for allegedly gang-raping and recording the process on the phone to blackmail the victim.
The command spokesman, Adewale Osifeso, disclosed this while parading some criminal suspects arrested for various crimes such as defilement, armed robbery and obtaining by trick.
Also paraded were other suspects involved in various crimes such as armed robbers and a suspect accused of defrauding his victims under that pretense of providing them jobs.
Items recovered from the suspects include, cash, motorcycles, cars and ammunitions.

A statement released by Mr Osifeso, said the two teenagers raped the victim and sent the video of the sexual act to another friend, who demanded sex from the girl so as not to upload the film on social media.
The statement read, “On the October 24, 2022 at about 12pm, the victim, (name withheld) ‘f’ 17yrs visited her friend Joshua Adegoke ‘m’ age 18 years at his residence where she met one Peter Akintunde ‘m’, age 18 years.
“At Joshua’s place, she was given a bottle of soft drink after which she was invited to his room for sex an offer which she declined.
“In a bid to salvage what she sensed was becoming a trouble, she innocently asked Peter, Joshua’s friend to prevail on his friend but instead Peter advised her to offer Joshua what he demanded.
“At this point, both friends took turns to forcefully and unlawfully have carnal knowledge of their victim while simultaneously recording the act.
“After this, Joshua deliberately transferred the video footage to another friend, one Oluwanjoba Adetona, who also reached out to the victim demanding for sex in exchange for not uploading the footage on social media.
“The suspects have voluntarily confessed to the crime and are helping with the investigation.”
