An Ogudu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos on Monday
remanded a 28-year-old man, Sunday Young, for
allegedly conspiring with three others to rape a
teenager.
Young, who resides on Dele Akingboye Street,
Ifako, Gbagada, Lagos, was arraigned on a five-
count charge of conspiracy, rape, sexual
harassment, sexual assault and abduction.
The Prosecutor, Insp. Lucky Ihiehie, told the court
that Young and three others, still at large, raped a
19-year-old lady at 4p.m. on Nov. 1, on Yetunde
Brown Street, Ifako.
He said that the victim reported the crimes with
tears at the Ifako Police Station.
“Three young men and a girl forced her to their
room at the above-mentioned address, and
drugged her. She woke up and found herself naked
on the bed with semen on her body.
“The complainant said she doesn’t know two men
and the girl but she knows the accused who had
approached her for an intimate relationship but she
refused.
“According to the complainant, the accused had
tried to force her to have sex with him and they
were struggling with her clothes which the accused
was forcefully removing, before they were
interrupted by a knock on the door,’’ NAN quoted
the prosecutor as saying.
He said that the offences contravened Sections
260, 263, 264, 269, 411 of the Criminal Law of
Lagos State, 2015.
However, ruling, the Magistrate, Mrs E. Kubeinje,
ordered that Young should be kept in prison
custody pending advice of the state Directorate of
Public Prosecutions, as the court could not take
the accused’s plea.
Kubeinje adjourned the case until Dec. 5 for the
advice.
