A heartless undergraduate student of College of Health Technology, Ijero Ekiti, Busayo Kayode has been arrested for tricking her bosom friend to be raped by 10 cultists in a bush within the school premises.
Busayo, who is said to be a member of AVE (Act Very Effective) cult group, specialised in wooing female students of the institution for recruitment. According to a police source, the rape is said to be a part of the initiation process in which female students are blindfolded and raped by the cult members serially.
“They are thereafter warned to shut their mouth as initiates or risk losing their lives. But the last victim (name withheld) defied the threat and reported to her parents who informed the police, which led to the arrest of three of the cult members.”
The source told Punch that many female students had fallen the same fate but kept their mouths shut to avoid stigmatisation.
Kayode and three of the rapists were among the 26 suspects paraded on Wednesday by the Commissioner of Police in Ekiti, Wilson Inalegwu.
Investigation into the matter is ongoing.
