Adejumo was arrested on Wednesday and immediately charged to an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court. How Deborah Was Raped Deborah, who is seven-month pregnant, narrated her tale of woe, saying she found herself in her present condition after her mother, Rachel, asked her to go to a construction site and bring back a plastic drum borrowed from her by Adejumo. She had said immediately she got there, Adejumo told her that the drum was kept upstairs and that she should go there and carry it. She said she did not know that Adejumo had hatched a plan to rape her, alleging that the suspect held her tightly, closed her mouth with clothes and tied her with ropes. Deborah had said, “After doing those things, he had sex with me. Because I have not had sex before, I had bruises and blood covered my private part. After the rape, he still left me tied but he removed the pieces of clothes in my mouth.” Our source learnt that the police hurriedly arraigned the suspect because they did not want to be seen to have compromised on the matter. It was further learnt that the suspect had been remanded at Kirikiri Maximum Prisons, Lagos and that the case had been adjourned till March 4 for further hearing.
