Jacob Damilare, a commercial motorcyclist, has been arrested by the Osun State Police Command for sexually assaulting a female passenger at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife.
The victim, whose name has not been disclosed, hired Damilare for a ride to Moro around 7:05 PM on July 26. During the journey, Damilare allegedly diverted into a bush near RCC Junction along the Ilesa-Ibadan Expressway, where he robbed her of her belongings, raped her, and shaved her pubic hair.
In an interview with PUNCH Metro, Damilare confessed to the crime. He claimed that the victim, a student of OAU, had responded rudely to his advances, prompting him to divert into the bush. He said, “I made a pass at her, but she was rude.
Her response led me to take her into the bush. I gave her two choices: have sex with me or give me money. She chose to have sex with me.”
Osun police spokesperson Yemisi Opalola detailed the incident during a press briefing at the command headquarters in Osogbo. She stated, “On July 26, 2024, at around 7:05 PM, the complainant engaged Damilare Jacob, a commercial motorcyclist, from OAU Campus to Moro town.
