A 25-year old man, Ebenezer Adeshina, has landed in trouble for allegedly luring his Facebook lover, drugging, raping, taking her nude pictures and threatening to upload them on social media if he was not paid.
TheHeute reports that the incident happened at Owode Egbado area of Ogun State, where the suspect, Adeshina, resides.
He has been arrested by men of Ogun State Police Command for the alleged rape and blackmail.
This was confirmed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, who stated that suspect was arrested on 6th May, 2022, following a report lodged at Owode Egbado Divisional Headquarters by the victim. She stated that she met the suspect on Facebook sometime in 2021, and they began chatting.
The victim told the Police that her phone got spoilt along the line, so she could no longer chat with the suspect. However, in the month of March this year, the suspect called her and asked why she could not chat with him anymore, and she informed him about her spoilt phone.
She said the suspect then asked her to come to his house to collect the sum of three thousand Naira for the repair of the phone. On getting there, she said the suspect offered her a drink, which she took unknown to her that the drink had been laced with a sedative drug.
She said immediately after taking the drink, she became unconscious and the suspect used the opportunity to have unlawful carnal knowledge of her against her wish.
Having satisfied himself after having sex with her in a state of unconsciousness, she said the suspect took her nude pictures and started threatening to upload the pictures on social media if she did not pay the sum of N50,000.
DSP Oyeyemi stated that upon the report, the DPO Owode Egbado Division, CSP Muhammad Baba, detailed his detectives to go after the suspect. He said the suspect was eventually apprehended and he has confessed to the commission of the crime.
He stated that the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation and prosecution.
The suspect risks several years of imprisonment if he is tried and found guilty before the Court for the alleged offence but that will be after the conclusion of the investigation by the Police.

Nine dead, 21 injured in Katsina road crash involving overloaded trailer
Nine dead and 21 injured in a tragic road crash in Katsina after a trailer carrying cows and humans fell. FRSC urges safer practices.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has confirmed that nine people have died, and 21 others have sustained various injuries in a tragic road crash in Dankama, Kaita Local Government Area, Katsina State.
The incident occurred when a trailer carrying both cows and humans on top became separated from its main body and crashed onto a pavement.
According to FRSC’s Sector Commander, Mr. Aliyu Ma’aji, the driver of the trailer was attempting to avoid hitting a woman who had fallen from an overloaded Golf car carrying beans. The woman’s fall had resulted in the car losing control.
In a statement issued by the FRSC’s Public Relations Officer, Shamsudeen Babajo, Mr. Ma’aji explained that the driver’s efforts to prevent the collision caused him to lose control, leading to the trailer’s detachment and subsequent crash.
As a result, nine people tragically lost their lives, while 21 others were injured. The injured victims were rushed to the Primary Healthcare Center in Kaita for initial treatment, with some referred to Katsina General Hospital and the Federal Teaching Hospital due to the severity of their injuries.
This incident has raised serious concerns over the practice of carrying passengers and animals in overloaded vehicles.
The FRSC Sector Commander urged both drivers and passengers to avoid such dangerous practices, stressing that overloading and recklessness are major contributing factors to road accidents in the region.
Mr. Ma’aji further called on passengers to actively report instances of overloading and unsafe driving practices in order to reduce the number of road traffic incidents.

EFCC detains 10 officers over theft and corruption allegations
EFCC launches an internal crackdown with 10 officers detained over theft and corruption allegations, marking a critical test of its accountability.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has initiated a dramatic internal crackdown, detaining 10 officers from its Lagos Zonal Command over serious allegations of theft and corruption.
This bold move, ordered by EFCC Executive Chairman Mr Ola Olukoyede, signals the Commission’s commitment to tackling internal misconduct and ensuring accountability within its ranks.
The officers were apprehended last week and are currently being interrogated regarding the disappearance of several unaccounted-for operational items. The situation has sent shockwaves throughout the EFCC, which has long been regarded as a leading force in the fight against corruption in Nigeria.
Sources close to the investigation suggest that the case has captured significant public attention, casting a spotlight on the EFCC’s internal operations and raising questions about its ability to police itself.
“Investigators are making good progress,” an insider revealed, adding that anyone found guilty will face stringent internal disciplinary measures.
The unfolding scandal presents a crucial test of the EFCC’s resolve in upholding its own standards of accountability. As an institution tasked with eradicating financial crimes and corruption in Nigeria, the EFCC’s credibility is now on the line as it battles to preserve its reputation while addressing these internal breaches.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of self-regulation and integrity, even for those entrusted with the task of enforcing the law.
The public and officials alike are closely watching how the EFCC navigates this controversy, as the Commission continues to scrutinise its operations and ensure that all its officers uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct.
