Fatoba said on the day the incidence happened, Oyelakin had dropped off the other pupils in his vehicle at their various homes and was left with the victim. He then proceeded with the victim to a secluded place where he had carnal knowledge of her.

The prosecutor told the court that the offence contravenes sections 360 and 218 of the Criminal Code Cap 34 Vol. 11, Laws of Osun State, 2003.

The plea by the accused over two-count charge of rape and assault he was accused with turned down due to the nature of the offence.
