Punch reports;
In the emergency ward of the National
Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi, Lagos, 21-year-old Oye Adeleke was lying
on a bed like every other patient who had suffered different degrees of
fracture to their limbs from accidents. But Adeleke’s case is peculiar. In fact,
the story behind how he landed in the hospital had circulated around
the ward. Some of those who were discussing the issue when our
correspondent visited him, used the word “karma” to describe his fate.
On January 18, 2014, Adeleke, who is an
apprentice meat seller at Tinubu Market in Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos, allegedly
added his name to a long list of sexual predators walking the streets
of Lagos. That day, which would change the life of
12-year-old Bisola (not real name) forever, was when Adeleke ambushed
the young girl and raped her for one hour.
