“How I raped pregnant NYSC member” – Okada rider

A 30-year-old commercial motorcycle operator aka Okada rider, Tumi Ayileka, has been held by the Ondo State Police Command for raping a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member (names withheld) who is 3 months pregnant.The victim had been posted to Ondo State and deployed to Imoru in Ose LGA for her primary assignment. The alleged rape happened on the route she had been taking on motor bike since she was deployed to Imoru. On that fateful day, she left the Corpers Lodge, located at Ifon, the headquarters of Ose LGA at about 630pm for Imoru where she was doing her NYSC. Instead of heading for Imoru, a short distance to Ifon, the rider stopped abruptly and diverted into the bush. He was said to have excused himself to obey the call of nature. But the corps member was said to have expressed concern why he had to stop to ease himself in a lonely and busy area.

Suspecting a foul play, she reportedly jumped down from the bike and ran towards the main road but the Okada rider was said to have over-powered her and allegedly dragged her back inside the bush. The suspect, who claimed he also doubled as a farmer, reportedly forcefully had unlawful carnal knowledge of her. The victim was said to have pleaded with the suspect that she was pregnant and she should be spared of the horror of rape but all her pleas were reportedly rebuffed by the suspect.

Speaking in an interview, the Okada rider said, “I do not know what came over me when I raped her. When she was crying that she was pregnant, something told me to stop and leave her alone but another voice said I should finish what I started; that is why I raped her”. When sked if he had done such illicit act before, the suspect said, “No, this is the first time. When she stopped me, I did not have the intention but when I started the engine of the motorcycle and I looked at her eyes, I was attracted to her and the thought came to my mind. That was how I started thinking of how to rape her because she is a beautiful lady.I knew that the only way I could rape her was to drive to the bush and pretend I wanted to ease myself. It is the devil that pushed me. I want to be forgiven. I won’t do such a thing again. I have asked God to forgive me too. If I am released, I will never again in my life rape any girl.”
