A neighbour, who spoke on circumstance of anonymity, told our correspondent that Damilola had failed to show up at the victim's party and allegedly lured her to his residence one week later.

She stated,
 thus: “Damilola and the lady have been church pals. The woman had her birthday on Tuesday, July 19, and she  invited all youths in the church who have been her buddies. Damilola, however, did not come. He, thereafter,apologised for not coming, and promised to make it up to her.
“On the subsequent Sunday, Damilola told her that he had set up a make-up celebration and that they will be going to an eating place.  He took her to his residence , and locked her up. He beat her up and raped her.
When the lady regained her freedom, she REPORTED the matter at the police station. On Monday, she, with other church members, went to the DSVRT workplace in Alausa to make  necessary statements.
The DSVRT Coordinator, Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, stated the victim was taken for medical tests.

undress. She  cried and begged him. The girl later gave in and Damilola raped her.
“The DPP has requested the replica case report. The  rape  victim has been taken to the Mirabel Centre, Ikeja, for essential assessments. The suspect has yet to get a complete-time task. He is into amusement enterprise.”
