A driving instructor, Festus Udoh, has narrated how he allegedly
lured a 23-year-old National Youth Service Corps member, Miss
Modupe Kawose, into a bush at Mawuko, Odeda Local Government Area
of Ogun State, raped and strangled her.
Miss Kawose had registered in a driving school, Lizzy Driving
School, where the suspect was an instructor.
The suspect was paraded at the scene of the incident on Thursday
by the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Iliyasu Ahmed.
Narrating how he allegedly lured the victim to her death, Udoh
said the victim called him on Saturday, demanding her learner’s
permit, and he told her to come for it at Lafenwa, also in
Abeokuta.
Udoh said when Modupe Kawose arrived, he told her he had
resigned from Lizzy Driving School, and that she should follow him
to where the learner’s permit would be processed.
He said, “As she arrived Lafenwa, I told her to follow me to the
place where I would process the permit for her.
“We boarded a vehicle and later took a bike to Iberokodo, and we
alighted at a junction.
“She was surprised and she asked, ‘Is this where you live?’
“As we entered the bush, I said I wanted to have sex with her,
she said no.
“I dragged her into the bush and had sex with her. She
threatened to inform her family.
“It was at this stage that I tore her cloth and used it to
strangled her, tying it around her neck.”
The state police boss, Iliyasu Ahmed, said the Command’s
operatives went to work when they received a letter of a missing
person from the coordinator of the NYSC in the state, Mr. John
Okoh.
He said, “We went for a powerful technical screening of fact
left behind by the last person she made contact with, who is the
suspect, and we were able to arrest him.”
Ahmed said the suspect hailed from Uromi, Edo State, adding that
the victim’s relations have been contacted.
