A 16-year-old boy, identified as Precious, was detained by members of the Ondo state security outfit, code-named Amotekun, for reportedly raping nine local women as well as his brother’s wife.
On Friday, November 11, the state commander of Amotekun, Adetunji Adeleye, presented the suspect to reporters, stating that the boy had raped his brother’s wife when he travelled outside the city.
Precious allegedly entered his brother’s bedroom, saw that the wife was unclothed and asleep, and took advantage of her.
The boy confessed to the crime in an interview with newsmen before admitting to the rape of nine other girls in Laosun, a farm settlement in the Ondo West local government region.
“In Laosun, I have raped nine girls. Some of them are 19 or 25 years, in the night, I will go into their rooms and start sleeping with them.
“I do not use guns or knives to threaten them. Sometimes I would be caught and they would beat me and leave me.
“I have been arrested before. I was arrested for stealing 25 litres of palm oil. I wanted to gather money to use to buy a phone. I came to the house and saw my brother’s wife sleeping naked. I went into the room and slept with her.”
The culprit would shortly be charged in court, according to the Amotekun Commander.
