The suspect, Akeem Adeniyi, is alleged to have arrested two women, known as Bose and Busayo, who he claimed to have been his girlfriends.

Residents in the Alla-Isin area of Kwara State told police that they heard screams for help coming from an area near the Alla Grammar School on the evening of March 11. Upon investigation, they could not locate the victim but reported Adeniyi as having said that he was attempting to forcefully have sex with his girlfriend at the time.
