In a similar story, two secondary school students of Ogbogbo Baptist Grammar School in Ogun State were a few days ago arrested by men of the special anti-robbery squad for raping a National Youth Service Corp member who happens to be their class teacher.
The two students, Bamidele Ayeni and Isiaka Akanji had reportedly raped their victim on February 13, 2020, at about 7:30 pm when the victim was returning from a church service at Ijari.
Reports had it that Bamidele and Isiaka had previously delivered warning letters to the corp member, with threats of dealing with her any day they have their chance.
The Culprits, however, confessed that one of the reasons why they raped the National Youth Service Corps member was that, she is always good at keeping them in the classroom without sparing them some minutes, even on break times.
