Herbalist rapes teenager during a consultation about mission N1000
Samson Ogundele, a herbalist, was arrested by men from the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly raping a teenager during a consultation about a missing N1,000.

The suspect, a resident of Referefu, Oja-Odan, in the state's Yewa-North Local Government Area, was arrested last Wednesday for allegedly raping the girl and attempting to violate another woman who came to his house for consultation with seven others.

DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the state Police Public Relations Officer, said in a statement on Sunday that Ogundele was arrested after one of the victims filed a report at the Oja-Odan divisional headquarters.

He explained that after the victim reported that N1,000 was missing among nine hairdressing apprentices, they decided to seek traditional way to find the money.

Attempts to find the missing N1,000 prompted all nine apprentices in the shop to consult the herbalist to determine who among them stole the money.

"When he got to the herbalist, he started calling them into a room one after the other after collecting N700 from them," he explained.

"The complainant went on to say that the first and second people came in and out, and when it was her turn, she came in and the herbalist tried to rape her."

"In response to her complaint, the DPO Oja-Odan division, CSP Gabriel Ikechukwu, directed his detectives to pursue the suspect, who was apprehended."

"It was while interrogating him that one of the 17-year-old girls confessed that the herbalist had carnal knowledge of her when she met him in the consulting room."

"She went on to say that the herbalist threatened her life if she tried to tell anyone."

"The victim was immediately taken to the Oja-Odan General Hospital, where a doctor on duty confirmed that the girl had been defiled."

"The herbalist himself has admitted to committing the crime."

According to the PPRO, the suspect was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and prosecution by the state Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole.
