The suspects also insisted that the victim (names withheld) was a girlfriend to one of the arrested members and that she voluntary followed his boyfriend to the scene of the rape.
The suspects were a few days ago arrested, after a non-governmental organisation reported the incident at Oworonsoki police station, following the alarm by residents of the area.
The Lagos State Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni identified the arrested suspects as: Tasheed Oyekanmi, Olafele Habeeb, Femi Olatunji and Alade John.
The suspects, while speaking with Lagos Metro, stated that the fifth accused person had been released by the police.
18-year-old Oladele Habeeb admitted that the gang all took their turn to sleep with the girl, but insisted that “it was not a rape incident. She agreed to it.”
He added that, “The girl is a bad girl. She used to sleep around with boys. Everybody in the area knows her as a wayward girl.”
The acclaimed boyfriend, Femi Olatunji also confessed to have slept with the girl, but insisted that they had been dating each other for many months, before the incident.
He however also confessed that he slept with the primary five pupil for the first time, the same day his friends took their turn to rape her.
“She was my girlfriend. We have been dating each other for some months before that day. I was the one that took her to where my friends raped her,” he explained.
The victim had given one of her clothes to Femi for amendment, when he lured her to where members of the gang took their turns to rape her
