Teenager arrested for rape and murder of 17-year-old girl
The Oyo State Police Command has arrested a 20-year-old suspect, Tosin Kolade, who raped and m¥redered a 17-year-old girl, Ifeoluwa Apanpa, inside a church at Olodo area of Ibadan, the state capital
It is reported that the deceased was said to be on her way to church for service when the suspect under a false pretense sought her assistance in his own church that was close by
The suspect who was paraded before the newsmen said his mother is a member of the sanitation department in the Church, hence his access to the key of the church
I took the key of our church because my mum is the cleaner of the church. I knew she would pass through our church to her own church which she did & I asked her to assist me to carry some of the chairs
“I brought the knife. I wanted to scare her to collect her phone but she dragged the kn#fe with me. She also fell down & hit her head on the floor. I raped her & strangled her,”
