A hoodlum, identified simply as Yemi, aka Aleeba, has been arrested for allegedly abducting and raping a female undergraduate of the Federal Polytechnic Ede, Osun State.
Meanwhile, the management of the Federal Polytechnic Ede condemned the incident and assured that justice would be served in the matter.
The institution’s Protocol, Media and Public Relations Officer, Sola Lawal, in a statement, urged students to remain calm and be law-abiding as security operatives continued their investigation into the incident. The statement read in part, “The attention of the management of the Federal Polytechnic Ede has been drawn to a recent case of rape incident which allegedly involved a female student and a notorious tout popularly known as Aleba, which reportedly occurred on Sunday, along Bode Road, Ede.
“We want to emphatically state that this act of lawlessness is not only barbaric but a bestial act that must be condemned in all its totality with attendant prosecution of the culprit. “The management, in its avowed determination to protect the interest of the students, will definitely pursue this case to a logical conclusion and bring the perpetrator of this dastardly act to book no matter how highly placed he is.”All rights reserved.
