The prosecutor said “At about 8.00p.m., Oyejide, aka MI, celebrated his birthday at Adigbe and some ladies were invited.
“Later in the night, the accused and one other got the victim, who is also a friend drunk.
“The accused and his friend took the victim to his house at Ijeja and they raped her to death.”

“The management of the hospital reported the case to the police, which led to Oyejide’s arrest,” Hammed said.
