‘Hotel manager forced his hand into my privates’- Osun corps member

File: Corps members on the parade ground.

A female corps member has narrated how the manager of the hotel where she is serving in Osogbo, Osun State, sexually molested her.

The young lady (name withheld) who was posted to the hotel in the GRA of the Osun State capital was on her mandatory assignment at the hotel under the supervision of the 29-year-old hotel manager.

Her service had gone without an incident until Friday 25th March, 2022 around 8:40 pm when the manager attempted to sleep with her by force.

According to the victim, on that day, the manager approached her requesting a bottle of beer. She said she got it and he asked her to follow him to his room.

She said that once in the room, the man collected the bottle and started discussing life after service year with her.

“A few minutes later he started touching me and I resisted pulling his hands off my body, but suddenly, he pulled me closer and turned my face on the bed and put his hands in my trouser and inserted it in my private parts.

“He then pulled my trouser from behind, turned my face up, and wanted to penetrate into my private parts, I was resisting him. He was too heavy for me, I even bit him, yet, he carried on. He poured his semen on my body and pants. When he discovered that I can’t breathe very well, he stood and I ran out of the room.

“The following day, two of my female corps members discovered I was not playing or relating with them very well, they inquired what happened. I couldn’t tell them at first, but when I couldn’t hold the tears anymore, I told them what happened to me and they encouraged me to report the matter to the police and I did.

“I took the police from Dugbe Divisional Headquarters to the hotel, but on sighting the police team, the manager ran away through the back exit,” she narrated.

The suspect was later picked up by the police. The State Police spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the arrest and said the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department at the command headquarters.

“The hotel is the corps member’s place of primary assignment and the matter is presently under investigation by the police command,” she said.
