Man sets up sister to be raped over inheritance

Officials of the Ogun state Police Command, on Monday said it had arrested a 40-year-old man for allegedly masterminding the rape of his two sisters in Ijebu-Ososa area of the state.

Speaking with newsmen in Abeokuta, the state capital, the Command’s Spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said the suspect was arrested with two other persons.
“The two other persons arrested with the 40-year-old man were those who eventually raped and robbed the two sisters aged 16 and 18.

“He gave the two suspects N80,000 to harass, molest and threaten his two younger sisters who had disagreed with him over the sharing formula of their late parents’ inheritance.

“You can speak with him as he had already confessed to the crime; so it’s a very straight forward case and we are charging three of them to court tomorrow,” he said.
The arrested victims’ brother reaffirmed while speaking to newsmen that it was true he hired two persons to threaten his two sisters over their parents’ inheritance.

He said, “I just asked them (the two other suspects) to threaten my sisters so that they can leave the property to me; I never paid them to rape my sisters as they had done.”
