Two siblings identified as Femi Fagbohun, 43, and Kayode Fagbohun, 41, have landed in the police net for kidnapping a 17-year-old girl and raping her in Ogun State.

Femi was said to have abruptly stopped in front of the Deeper Life Church, Lotto in Mowe where his brother, Kayode, entered the car with a broken bottle telling their victim that she had been kidnapped and threatened to kill her if she ever resisted.

According to Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Omolola Odutola, who disclosed this development via a statement, it was obvious that the driver had beforehand planned the terrible act with his younger brother.

The police spokesperson said the suspects had subsequently kidnapped the victim and drove her to the Omu junction, Ofada, where she was allegedly raped by the suspects while her iPhone 13 Pro Max valued at ₦840,000 and a sum of ₦50,000 cash were equally collected.

“She stated that on 3/6/2024 at about 1600hrs while travelling from Lekki in Lagos State to Abeokuta Garage in Mowe, Ogun State, she booked an online ride in a Toyota Camry with registration number EKP 352AE.

“When she arrived at the front of Deeper Life Church, Lotto, Mowe, the vehicle suddenly stopped and another man entered the car with a broken bottle threatening to kill her if she made any noise.

“The driver then drove off to an unknown location. During the ride, she was informed that she had been kidnapped and was asked to call someone to pay ransom.”

According to Odutola, she called her boyfriend, Akinwale Williams, who transferred ₦200,000 to an FCMB account belonging to one Awanatu Hamzat Adejoke.
