According to the Police, the young men lured the victim to an undisclosed place and forcefully ordered her to remove her pants. They then penetrated her one after the other while watching the actions.

After rounds of interrogation at the SCID, the Police found them culpable and charged them before the Yaba Magistrate Court for the alleged offence which attracts several years of imprisonment.
The charges read:
“That you, Sodiq Kazeem, 20, Aduranigba Seyon,20, Akinwumi Olaitan, 22 and Yusuf Lateef, 20, on the 29th day of July, 2024 at about 1700hrs, at Ajangbadi Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did conspire amongst yourselves to commit felony to wit: rape and thereby, committed an offence punishable under Section 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.”

The Court did not take their plea when they were arraigned after the prosecutor, Supol Thomas Nurudeen, asked the Court to refer the matter to the DPP for legal advice because of the nature of the alleged offence.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mr. P.E. Nwaka, ordered their remand in custody without any option of bail pending the outcome of the DPP’s advice and directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send it to the DPP for legal advice.
The matter was adjourned for mention for the report of the DPP’s advice to be ready, which will determine if the matter will be transferred to the High Court or not over jurisdiction.
