A 33-year-old man has been arrested and
charged before Isolo Magistrates' court for
allegedly raping an 18-year-old girl at a boutique
in Lagos State, western Nigeria.
At the court, the presiding magistrate, Mrs Joy
Ugbomoiko ordered him to be remanded in
prison custody without an option of bail.
The suspect, Okechukwu Okere, allegedly went to
the boutique located at 125, Lawanson street, in
Itire area of Lagos where the victim is the sale's
person.
Okere pretended that he wanted to buy clothes
and shoes. But unknown to the victim, he had
another motive.
According to the victim, immediately Okere
entered the shop, he held her by the throat and
threw her to the floor and she became
unconscious.
In spite being unconscious, Okere allegedly
pulled her pair of jeans trousers and her
underwear and started having sex with her.
While he was allegedly raping her, one of their
neighbours identified as Innocent Chukwu who
opened the boutique shop raised the alarm and
alerted other neighbours who went there to
rescue the victim.
During the rescue process, Okere attempted to
escape but was prevented by the residents who
apprehended and handed him over to the police
at Itire division.
The victim who was in comma was rushed to a
hospital where she was later revived.
She sustained injuries in her eyes and private
part.
In a statement to the police, Okere admitted that
he actually raped the victim and said that he did
not know what came over him.
Okere said he lives at 4, Smith Fadairo Street in
Mushin and hails from Orlu in Imo State.
He was charged with attempted murder, rape and
assault under the Criminal Code.
When he was arraigned, he pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Mr U. A. Oje informed the court
that the victim was still lying in critical condition
at the hospital because he held her throat tightly
until she collapsed and forcefully had carnal
knowledge of her.
The court denied him bail and ordered that he be
remanded in prison custody.
The matter was adjourned till 22 February, 2016.
