Ologbon added that Tanko and his gang members raped the deceased inside their car.

"After they had raped Idowu, they carried her dead body to a nearby junction. The police located Tanko’s house through the blood traces of the deceased and the suspected killer was arrested. The mobile phone of the deceased was found with Tanko.”
