The Ogun State Police Command announced that a search has begun for the robbers who allegedly raped two 100-level female students of Tai Solarin University of Education, Ìjèbú-Ode, after invading their rooms in a residential area on Monday.

Omolola Odutola, the command spokeswoman, revealed the search on Tuesday.

The event, which happened on Monday at around 12:30 am, following the recent passing of Fabiyi Ayinla, a final-year student in the Department of History and Diplomatic Studies.

During Monday’s incident, the alleged robbers broke into the female students’ flat by cutting through a mosquito net on the window about 12:30 a.m.

After gaining entry, the two female students were forced at gunpoint to surrender their mobile phones and were then taken to a nearby uncompleted building, where the suspects took turns raping them.

A source at the school, who requested anonymity due to the gravity of the situation, indicated that students immediately reported the incident to the school’s security chief, who subsequently notified the police.

The source said, “They tore through their mosquito net that was used to cover the window. When they entered, they ordered them at gunpoint to provide their cell phones.

“They asked them to open their doors since they entered the room through the window. They said they were going to use the ATM card they took from the students to withdraw from a Point-of-Sale machine.

When the ladies opened their doors, they were escorted to an unfinished structure adjacent a 10-block self-contained flat, where the suspects took turns raping each of them’.

Ayotunde Odubela, the school’s Public Relations Officer, did not answer his phone or respond to a text message.

Miss Bethel Olorunfunmi, acting President of the school’s Student Union Government, stated on Tuesday that the association was aware of the situation and was working to resolve it.

“Yes, we are aware. The necessary steps have been taken,” she simply stated.

The command’s spokesperson, who had earlier on Monday verified the event, revealed that police officers in the Igbeba Division will stop at nothing to apprehend those responsible.

She said, “The incident was reported at the Igbeba Police Division at about 10:00 am. Our operatives immediately combed the area in search of the suspects.

“Efforts are in top gear to arrest everyone involved in the crime. The survivors have been taken to the school clinic for treatment.”
