A hotel manager identified as Joseph Adeleye has been arrested by the Police attached to the Osun State Police Command for allegedly raping a corps member inside a hotel room.
It was gathered that the manager entices the corps member into an isolated room inside the hotel and forcefully had unlawful carnal knowledge of her.
It was also gathered that the corps member (name withheld) was attached to the hotel which is located in the GRA area of Osogbo as her Primary Place of Assignment (PPA) and was functioning as the admin officer of the company when the incident transpired.
The corps member while narrating her experience said that the incident happened last week Friday night when she was on duty.
She said “The manager, Mr. Adeleye requested that I should bring a bottle of beer to his room, after he collected it, he started to inquire about my plan after NYSC, I was not too fine with it because we were in an enclosed room, a few minutes later, he started touching me and I resisted pulling his hands off my body, but suddenly, he pulled me closer and turned my face on the bed and put his hands in my trouser and inserted it in my private part.
“He then pulled my trouser from behind, turned my face up, and wanted to penetrate me, I was resisting him. He was too heavy for me, I even bite him, yet, he carried on. I shouted at the top of my voice but no one could hear me because the room was a bit far from where the other staff stayed.
“He penetrated and he poured his semen on my body and pant. When he discovered that I couldn’t breathe very well, he stood and I ran out of the room. The following day, two of my female corps members discovered I wasn’t not playing or relating with them very well, they inquired what happened. I couldn’t tell them at first, but when I couldn’t hold the tears anymore, I told them what happened to me and they encouraged me to report the matter to the police and I did. He was later arrested and detained,” the victim said.
Confirming the incident, the Public Relations Officer of Osun State Police Command, SP Yemisi Opalola said the suspect has been apprehended and the investigation is ongoing.
