The Kwara state police command has released photos of Jimoh Abdulfatai, the young man who conspired with his friends to a§saulting his girlfriend over claims that she was cheating on him.
Fatai had invited his girlfriend, Aduke, to his house where he had gathered a couple of his friends to flog her for allegedly cheating on him. When she arrived at his apartment, she met some of his friends, all males, in his living room. He later began to interrogate her, accusing her of engaging in hookup.
Fatai had his friends hold Aduke’s hands and legs while he flogged her. At one point, he p¥lled her pants before he had a change of heart and wore her pants back. The video from the scene of the incident was shared online and sparked outrage from Nigerians on social media, with many calling for the prosecution of Fatai and his friends.
However, in a statement released on Thursday, June 23, SP Okasanmi Anahi revealed that the suspects have been remanded after being arraigned in court.
The statement reads; “The Kwara State Police Command wishes to inform the general public of her swift action in response to a viral video that trended in many social media platforms, showing a young lady by name Ayomide Afolayan, who was seen being horrendously, heartlessly assaulted and indecently assaulted by her supposed boyfriend named Jimoh Abdulfatai.
Her hands and legs were tightly held by four other friends of the first suspect named, Olamide Babatunde, Afeez Ayomide, Agboola Abdulsamad and Yakubu Mustapha for severe effect. The Police in Shao got wind of this highly despicable incident which prompted a swoop on the scene; the suspects were rounded up, victim liberated and was taken to hospital for treatment.”
