Confessing to the crime, Ayileka admitted that he raped the young youth corp member unknowingly.
He said it was his first time of committing the crime , saying he drove the victim home after the incident.According to him,
“she approached me around 7.p.m at Ifon that I should take her to Imoru community where she serves and I obliged after agreeing on N500 charges fee. On our away going, I don’t know the spirit that fell on me and I don’t know when I branched inside the bush and had carnal knowledge of her.“Immediately after that incident, the spirit went off and I was ashamed of myself. I don’t know she was pregnant before and I even took her home. Later on, she reported to the Police station and I was arrested. I don’t know the spirit that fell on me because I have never done that before”.
The Police Commissioner assured that the suspect would soon be charged to court as soon as the judicial workers end their industrial strike.
