However, on the way, Omogunwa lured her into another route in the pretence that she would get palm oil cheaper in the area than where she intended going to.

The woman, who narrated her ordeal at Omogunwa’s hand, said he drove her into a lonely bush where he suddenly stopped, dragged her into the bush, dispossessed her of her phone and the sum of N150,000 before raping her until she became unconscious.

Meanwhile, after failing to show up at home her family had to organize a search party which later discovered her where she was struggling to crawl to the road.

She said it took her about 48 hours to regain consciousness after losing the pregnancy as a result of excessive bleeding.

Speaking on the incident, the Ahaba of Ajagba, Oba Adesayo Ajibade, said it is a taboo to have sex with a woman on bare ground in Ikale land.

According to the royal father, the consequence of such desecration of the custom of the town is poor yields and famine unless the offenders appease the gods of the land.

Equally, the monarch lamented that the raped woman who had lost her pregnancy might not survive any sickness without performing the rituals.
