Ogun: Police arrest two brothers for alleged rape, kidnap of 17-year-old girl


Men of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested two brothers identified as Femi Fagbohun, aged 43, and Kayode Fagbohun, aged 41, for the alleged kidnap, robbery, and rape of a 17-year-old girl (name withheld).

DAILY POST gathered that the victim had ordered a ride driven by Femi from Lekki in Lagos State to Abeokuta garage in Mowe, Ogun State, when the incident occurred.

According to reports, the Toyota Camry with registration number EKP 352AE stopped in front of Deeper Life Church, Lotto in Mowe, where Kayode entered with a broken bottle, threatening to kill her.


The Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, who confirmed the incident to DAILY POST on Wednesday, said the driver, who had planned beforehand with his younger brother, kidnapped the victim and drove her to an unknown location.

Odutola stated that the victim was robbed of her iPhone 13 Pro Max valued at N840,000, a sum of N50,000 cash, and a ransom of N200,000 was collected from her boyfriend.

She noted that the victim was taken to a remote area at Omu Junction, Ofada, where she was also raped by the assailants.

Odutola said, “The victim reported on Monday at about 10:02 AM that while traveling from Lekki in Lagos State to Abeokuta garage in Mowe, she booked an online ride in a Toyota Camry with registration number EKP 352AE.


“She was informed that she had been kidnapped and was asked to call someone to pay a ransom. She called her boyfriend, Akinwale Williams, who transferred N200,000 to an FCMB account belonging to one Awanatu Hamzat Adejoke.

“A sum of N50,000 cash was taken from her, including an iPhone 13 Pro Max valued at N840,000.”

According to the spokesperson, her stolen phone was tracked to one Tunde Ajayi, who led the detectives to Kayode in Oke Sioni Imedu and later to Femi.

Odutola added that on interrogation, the two men confessed to the crime, adding that they sold the vehicle used in carrying out the dastard act.

She revealed that an unregistered blue Toyota Camry was recovered from the suspect and the case would be transferred to the SCID for further investigation and likely prosecution.
