POLICE authorities in Ogun State on Monday said it arrested a 40-year-old man for allegedly initiating the rape of his two sisters in Ijebu-Ososa area of the state.
The command’s spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, told newsmen in Abeokuta that the suspect was arrested with two other persons.
“The two other persons arrested with the 40-year-old man are 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.
Speaking with newsmen, the victims’ brother said it was true that he hired two persons to threaten his two sisters over their parents’ inheritance.
“I just asked them (the two other suspects) to threaten my sisters so that they can leave the properties to me; I never paid them to rape my sisters as they had done, ‘’ he said.
The command also paraded three other persons for allegedly operating a financial institution in Remo area of the state.
Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said information available to the command showed that the suspects had no licence to operate the outfit.
“ They have also confessed to the crime and would be charged to court as soon as possible,’’ Adejobi said.
