A 16-year-old girl who was allegedly raped to death and body kept by suspected hoodlums in Isale Ijeun area of Idi Ape in Abeokuta, Ogun state has been found in a bush.
The deceased, Aishat Shodeinde was allegedly kidnapped on Friday, August 16th while returning home by some unknown men who later gang-rape her to death inside the bush.
Aishat was, until her tragic death, an SS3 student at an unnamed secondary school.
According to The Nation reports, she was simultaneously undergoing training as an auxiliary nurse in a hospital in the neighbourhood.
Sources said she had repeatedly turned down love advances from one of the suspected hoodlums.
A search party was launched to find her soon after her relations realized that she had been unusually away from home for too long.
Her corpse was found near a rock by members of the So Safe Corps when they raided a joint operated by hemp smokers near the bush.
The matter was reported to a police division at Itoku area of Abeokuta but nothing was done to apprehend the culprits.
A source said: “We learnt the girl was accosted by the hoodlums while she was returning home and they forcibly took her to the bush and gang-raped her to death. “The police divisional headquarters at Oke Itoku was duly informed about the incident but their search for Aishat’s whereabouts did not yield fruits.
“It was the operatives of So Safe Corps who raided a hemp smoking joint that recovered her body after they perceived odour from the bush near the joint.’’
A source said that four suspects had been arrested in connection with the incident.
Police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi did not respond to enquiries sent to his mobile phone at press time.
He also did not pick his phone when he was called
