Girl, 17, raped to death on father’s farm in Ogun
A 17-year-old secondary school student, Habeebah Akinsanya, has been reportedly raped and killed on her father’s farmland in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Our correspondent gathered that the incident occured over the weekend at Mile 6, a community that is few metres away from Ogun State Television, Abeokuta.
Her father, Akinsanya Aremu, a senior officer with So Safe Corps, a government-owned security outfit, had reported at Kemta Police Station that her daughter was kidnapped while manning a POS stand on behalf of her sister.
The father reportedly paid a ransom of N1,000,000, to the alleged kidnappers, yet, the young girl was murdered.
Her lifeless body was recovered from the father’s farm on Sunday.
The Divisional Police Officer of Kemta Division, Abeokuta, CSP Olawale Famobuwa, confirmed the incident on Monday.
Famobuwa said that “the father of the deceased reported to the police station on Friday at about 9:30pm that her daughter, Habeebah who was helping her sister with the Point of Sale business had not been found.

“He said that the sister travelled and asked Habeebah to stand in for her but that someone invited her (the deceased) for a transaction and that she had since been missing.  It was incidented as a case of a missing person.
“He later came back again on Saturday and said that some people have contacted the sister who owned the PoS business and were demanding money, so he sent N30,000 into the Moniepoint account which we hope to use to track the receiver and then arrest those behind the criminal act.
“So what was paid was N30,000 and not N1m, I have the receipt and this is to help facilitate the tracking of those behind the criminal act.
“And we actually did the tracking to somewhere in Oke Egunya community, which is under Ibara Division, Abeokuta. We were there till 1am early Sunday morning until we went to rest a bit before continuing with the tracking.
“We were later informed on Sunday that the corpse of the young girl had been found at his father farm in Mile 6 and when we got there we discovered that the girl was raped before she was killed.”
Famobuwa explained further that a resident of the community said she saw a farm worker working for the father of the victim entering into the bush with the deceased but did not return with her.
According to him, when the worker was challenged, he said the girl was still busy on the farm and that she would join him later.
He said the farm worker who is a prime suspect had fled.

200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has disclosed that about 200,000 repentant terrorists have so far dropped their arms and surrendered to troops in the North East, noting that the twin strategy of kinetic and non-kinetic operations was responsible for this achievement.

The CDS made this known at the Security and Justice Symposium organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in collaboration with the British High Commission, which began at the National Counterterrorism Centre in Abuja on Tuesday.

He disclosed that the theme of the symposium, ”Securing Peace, Ensuring Justice, Protection, Conduct, and Accountability,” speaks volumes about the deluge of security challenges the armed forces and security agencies are facing.

His words, “All the challenges we are facing today have to do with fairness, equity, justice, and accountability.

“There will not be peace without justice, equity, fairness, and accountability. In our operations, we are conducting both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies, which have to a large extent yielded significant successes, and we want to particularly thank the National Security Adviser for his great support in this regard.

“Nigeria is going through so many challenges, and we feel we’re able to address this, and everybody has a sense of belonging. A lot of the security challenges we are having, we are sure, will go down. I want to thank the National Security Advisor for all the support he’s given us, both the kinetic and the non-kinetic.

“We have said it; the kinetic aspect is just less than 30%. The non-kinetic has a lot to play. The non-kinetic, because when you have democracy, people must have the evidence of democracy. As long as it tells people to sleep well and be peaceful, and they are hungry, their children cannot eat, and all this creates more problems.
