Man pours pepper into woman daughter's private part
Saharareporters has learned of the arrest of all the perpetrators
of a bestial torture and sodomy of three women in Ejigbo which
happened February last year.
The arrest of the sodomy gang, Saharareporters was reliably
informed, happened at the palace of Oba Moruf Adisa Ojoola of
Ejigbo earlier today.
The arrest was possible due to immense pressure on Oba Moruf
himself, he reportedly got all the men assembled at his palace
around 11pm Saturday night. The gathering of the gang by Oba
Moruf followed a closure of the market yesterday, which
prevented the market men and women from carrying out their
trading activities until the perpetrators were identified and
brought to book.
The gang’s torture and sodomizing of a lady by thrusting of a
bottle of ground pepper and sticks in her private part had resulted
in her death, two months after. She was later identified as
“Juliana” by her father, a palm wine tapper, who revealed that
he also lost a toddler in the incidence as his wife, mother of the
baby while being tortured by the gang was not allowed to attend
to the baby.
In addition to torture, the gang also destroyed the palm wine
tapper’s house and banished him from the community, after he
was made to pay N50,000 as fine to secure the release of his
wife and two daughters.
On Thursday, last week, Oba Moruf was invited by the Lagos
Assembly Committee regarding the investigation into the crime.
A source familiar with the meeting of the Oba with the
committee told our correspondent that the Oba’s demeanor at the
meeting was cooperative, and he did not spend much time. The
previous day, Wednesday, the Iyaloja (Ejigbo Market women
leader) also visited the committee on invitation. She was
accompanied by her husband, who pledged support toward the
investigation.
The Babaloja, who allegedly received a fine from the palm wine
tapper and also supervised his banishment, did not honor an
invitation by the committee. He gave the excuse that he had
injury on his leg. But sources in the market said the Babaloja
may have had the injury when he scaled a fence to escape arrest
by a police team that visited the market for investigation last
week.
At a public hearing upon constitution of the Lagos Assembly
committee, the police, the local government chairman, market
women and other members of the Ejigbo community had denied
knowledge of the crime, even as sources from the community
insisted the crime happened in the public glare.
As efforts progressed into finding the perpetrators, the police,
through its DPO in Ejigbo, CSP Oliver Abbey had clearly
shown complicity and laxity by claiming it doubted the event
happened at all, evidently by doing nothing about it. CSP Abbey
was later deployed out of the area after his compromised position
became clear to his superiors.
It is expected that the arrested gang would be tried for the
crime of murder, and the illegal sum collected from Mr.
Freeman, the palm wine tapper to secure his wife and daughters
recovered.
Mr. Freeman’s family is also expected to be rehabilitated.
