Agboola revealed that explanations provided by the rape victim shows how Samuel Balogun threatened her with the video and made several attempts to use the video to continue with his dastard act, because the victim refused his sexual advancements.

However, the victim’s refusal to yield for her to continue being raped, led Samuel Balogun to post the said video on social media channels before the Counter Terrorism Unit stormed on it, and download the video which they used in going after the suspect before he was arrested.
