Omolola Odutola, spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, told PUNCH on Monday that the suspect was apprehended on Saturday at a popular hotel in Erinwo, Ijebu-Ode, and immediately taken into custody.
According to reports, the 31-year-old suspect allegedly raped an 18-year-old female Library and Information Department student after meeting her in an Ijebu Ode lounge.

Odutola narrated, “At approximately 6:00 am, an 18-year-old survivor arrived at the police station, visibly shaken. She recounted how, around 1:00 am, the suspect approached her at the club and, under the threat of a knife, forcibly dragged her away to a nearby street, where he raped her before fleeing into the darkness.”
The command also disclosed that the suspect had previously committed a similar offence against another TASUED student at a hotel, where police operatives eventually arrested him.
Odutola added, “In a twist, another TASUED student, also a 300-level student, arrived at the station shortly after, reporting a similar horrifying encounter.
“According to her account, between 2:00 AM and 3:30 AM, the same suspect lured her onto a motorcycle and took her to Magun Hotel in Ijebu Ode, where he raped her, leaving severe bruises.”
The command stated that the suspect had been taken into custody, while the victims were rushed to Ijebu Ode State Hospital for urgent medical care.
As investigations progressed, Odutola assured the public of the police’s commitment to ensuring justice was served.
