Police have arrested two persons – Anthony John, 35, and Jimoh Idowu, 21, for gang raping their female co-tenant.

The suspects allegedly broke into the room of the female tenant around 2:00am on February 26, used fabric to gag her mouth before dragging her into one of the suspects’ (Anthony) room, where she was gang-raped.

Curiously, the suspects without sign of remorse, admitted they gang-raped the victim.

However, the girl reported the incident at the Owode-Egba divisional headquarters that the suspects cashed in on the fact that she was at home at the time with her younger sibling when their father travelled.
