According to the police, the incident occurred on the night of June 9, when the teenage girl was accosted on her way home.

The case has since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Eleweran, Abeokuta, for a comprehensive investigation. Aneka remains in custody pending the conclusion of proceedings and prosecution.
