PUNCH Metro gathered on
Friday that Gbemisola and Kunle were in an intimate relationship and had sexual
intercourse by mutual consent.
It was further learnt that
Gbemisola had sent some of her nude pictures to Kunle on Whatsapp before things
went awry between them.
Our correspondent had
reported on Friday that Gbemisola, a caterer, had alleged that Kunle asked her
out, which she turned down because she had a boyfriend already.
She had alleged that the
suspect lured her into his parents’ house in Agiliti Estate, Ketu, and raped
her.
She claimed that the suspect
did a picsmix of her nude pictures, included her phone number, and shared them
with his friends on the Internet.
The suspect, while reacting,
had told our correspondent that Gbemisola was his girlfriend, adding that the
19-year-old sent him the nude pictures, which he only showed to his friends.
On Friday, PUNCH Metro learnt
that the suspect was arrested by the police and the case was immediately
transferred to the State Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba.
After both of them were
grilled by police detectives, it was discovered that Gbemisola lied in her
statement to the police at the Ketu Police Division.
Kunle, who was in tears at
the SDCI, told our correspondent that the only evidence he had of their
relationship was destroyed by Gbemisola on the morning of his arrest.
He said, “I am in a big
trouble. The only evidence I have that she sent those pictures to me was my
chat history. But immediately the police came to arrest me, she picked my phone
and threw it into a well.
“She is the only one that can
save me by just telling the truth. We were in a relationship and I didn’t rape
her.”
Our correspondent, who later
spoke with Gbemisola, asked why she lied against Kunle.
Gbemisola said she wanted to
punish him for betraying her trust and sharing her nude pictures with his
friends and family members on the Internet, adding that some of his friends had
been calling to demand “their own share of sex.”
She said she threw his phone
into the well because Kunle claimed he had evidence of their relationship.
She said, “He is my boyfriend
and we had dated for just one week when he asked for my nude pictures. When two
people are dating and they are in love, anything can happen between them.
“Initially, I declined and he
started begging me. I asked him to swear on oath that he would later delete the
pictures from his phone and he did. I sent the pictures because of the trust I
had in him.”
Gbemisola said she visited
him few days afterwards, and he had sex with her.
“He didn’t rape me, but I
gave in because he begged, saying it had been long since he did it.”
She said the following day,
Kunle asked for a recharge card, which she sent to him, adding that he made
more demands and when she declined, the suspect threatened to make her a
“celebrity” in the community.
“I discovered he never loved
me and merely wanted to use and dump me.
“When he asked me to come to
his house again, I refused and asked him to do his worst. He then asked me to
log in to Whatsapp. Immediately I did, I saw that he had made my nude photos
his Display Picture (DP). He also sent them to me, as well,” she added.
She said her first boyfriend,
who got hold of her phone saw the pictures, and was angry.
Gbemisola said she also
received text messages and telephone calls from those who saw the pictures.
“They were saying, ‘come and
let’s sleep with you too.’ I was humiliated. A few days later, I was on the
road when Kunle saw me and started mocking me. I almost committed suicide,” she
added.
She said she damaged Kunle’s
laptop after he continued with his threat that he had another explicit video of
her.
“I lied against him to punish
him for what he did. I threw away his phone into the well because he claimed to
have evidence. I wanted to destroy him completely.
“But seeing how far this case
has gone, I want to forgive him. We are from the same Ondo State and our
parents are friends,” she added.
The Police Public Relations
Officer, Joe Offor, told our correspondent that investigation was on.
He said, “Both parties agreed
that the intercourse of that date was consensual and could not have amounted to
rape. Other aspects of the allegation are under investigation.”
