two men attempting to arrest a rapist were feared to have
drowned in the process.
The suspected rapist, Toeb Agbaje, was said to have
attempted to commit the offence near the Osun River at Zone
10 Area, Dada Estate, Osogbo, when the victim, a 15-year-
old girl raised alarm.
And an attempt to ensure that the suspect did not escape, two
of his pursuers also jumped into the river and have not been
seen. At the time of filing in this report, combined efforts
were still being intensified by local divers, the police and men
of the Osun State Fire Service to find them, alive or dead.
Police detectives, led by the Divisional Police Officer, Ataoja
Police Station, Osogbo later arrested the suspect at the
opposite side of the river, where he was waiting for his
clothes to dry.
The state commissioner of police, Mrs. Dorothy Gimba,
ordered that the search for the victims continue, and assured
that the incident will be properly investigated.
She also urged all concerned parties to keep calm and let the
law take its course, adding that the police will intensify
efforts to unravel all circumstances surrounding the incident.
