An Ekiti State High court sitting in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, has discharged and acquitted a 23-year-old man, Adeyemi Olawale, who was arraigned on the alleged offence of raping a 14-year-old girl.

“We hugged when we got there. Immediately I felt a shock in my body, he started kissing and romancing me. When I discovered he wanted to have sex with me, I asked him to use a condom, but he already had one in his pocket.

“When he could not penetrate, I told him to leave me because I don’t want to lose my virginity now. Thereafter, we left his place to our house, when I was not comfortable with all that had happened, I called and informed one of my cousins who resides in the United States of America.” The prosecutor, Ajibulu-Ariyo Taiwo, called five witnesses and tendered statements of the victim and defendant as exhibits.

The defendant, who spoke through his counsel, Sunday Ochayi, denied raping the girl, saying, “When we got to the apartment, we romanced and kissed, when I discovered she is a virgin, I left her alone.”All rights reserved.
