A 25-year old
man, Abuchi Stanley has been arrested and charged before a Lagos court for
allegedly abducting, drugging and r*ping a physically challenged 17-year old
teenager in Lagos.
Unfortunately,
the girl he r*ped turned out to be his aunt’s daughter from Umuezeleke family
in Azia town in Ihiala local government of Anambra State.
According to
police source, the victim left her parents’ house in Aguda, Surulere, Lagos and
was taken to a hotel in Ikorodu where she was drugged with apple, r*ped and
then abandoned by the suspect despite her condition.
It was while
she was wandering in Ikorodu the next day that a Samaritan met her and
contacted her mom. The girl was handed over to her mom at Ketu police station.
Chukwukere met
the victim on Facebook and they started love chatting since last year.
However, last
week, Chukwukere invited her out and they arranged to meet at Oshodi area of
Lagos.
When the victim
arrived at Oshodi, she contacted the suspect who reportedly took her to the
hotel in Ikorodu.
The matter was
reported to the police at Aguda division who trailed the suspect through his
Facebook page and got him arrested at Second Gate in Agidingbi area of Ikeja
where he sells second hand vehicles and spare parts.
The suspect
was charged before Surulere Magistrate and Family court on Tuesday with the
alleged offence and he pleaded not guilty.
It was at the
court that the suspect’s father recognised the girl’s mom as one of his
relatives.
The court,
however granted Chukwukere bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties and
one of the sureties must own a property in Lagos.
The court also
ordered the prosecutor, Inspector Benson to duplicate his file and send to the
Director of Public Prosecution, DPP for advice.
The matter was
adjourned till 7th April 2017.
