“She was raped about two weeks ago and when her school mates heard about the incident, they called her and started threatening her that they would expose her unless she settled them financially. She actually gave them that money, but they later rejected it and insisted on having fun with her.

“She initially agreed, but something else happened which caused commotion among them. A landlady who was not far from the scene raised the alarm. This led to the arrest of the two suspects, while the third boy is now at large.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Adewale Osifeso, confirmed the incident, adding that investigation was ongoing.
