Man rapes his neighbour after hitting her with grinding stone

A man identified as Michael Akinmolayan has been apprehended by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly raping and assaulting a female neighbour in the Sango-Ota area of the state. The incident occurred on Thursday, November 28, 2024. Multiple reports claimed that Akinmolayan attacked the victim with a grinding stone, inflicting severe head injuries. 

The victim was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention. The Ogun State Police Command, upon receiving a report of the incident, swiftly dispatched officers from the Sango-Ota Division to the scene. The officers apprehended Akinmolayan and took him into custody.

Omolola Odutola, the state police spokesperson, confirmed the arrest and stated that a thorough investigation into the matter is underway. She further revealed that detectives visited the crime scene, collected crucial evidence, including blood-stained clothing and the alleged weapon, and transported the victim to Banuso Clinic, Ota, for medical treatment.

This disturbing incident comes on the heels of another similar case reported in the state. In a related development some months ago, Tahiru Hamidu was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a mentally unstable woman in the Owode community, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area. Hamidu reportedly took advantage of the woman's vulnerable state and repeatedly assaulted her.

The police intervened after receiving a complaint from the victim's brother-in-law, who alleged that Hamidu had threatened to kill him if he interfered. These incidents highlight the pervasive issue of sexual violence in Nigeria. The police and other relevant authorities are urged to take decisive action to address this problem and ensure the safety of all citizens. 

It is also important for victims of sexual assault to come forward and report such crimes without fear of stigmatisation or retaliation. As the investigation into Akinmolayan's case continues, the public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities.

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p...
