A hotel manager, who allegedly raped a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member in Osogbo, will appear in court on Tuesday (today).

The spokeswoman for the police command in Osun, Yemisi Opalola, disclosed.

Ms Opalola said the police had concluded investigations on the matter.

“The State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), investigating the matter, has completed its investigation and would, any moment from tomorrow (Tuesday), charge the suspect to court,” she explained.

Ms Opalola added that the management of NYSC in Osun was following up on the case and providing the needed support.

“They are an interested party in the matter, being guardians and parents in charge of the wellbeing of corps members in the state,” said the police officer.

The police arrested the hotel manager located around the GRA Area in Osogbo for raping a female corps member serving at his hotel.

The incident reportedly occurred at about 8:30 p.m. on March 25, when the victim was on duty. The matter was reported at the police station in Dugbe in Osogbo by other corps members serving in the hotel.

The victim had explained to her colleagues that, while she was on duty, the manager ordered her to bring a bottle of beer to his hotel room, which she did.

She further narrated that the manager engaged her in a conversation about her plan after the service year, adding from that point, the manager started molesting her.

The victim said she fought and resisted the manager’s move but was overpowered and raped.
