A lady had a nasty experience at Seme Border after she went on a business trip but was ambushed by armed robbers, who gang raped and equally robbed her to the tune of N10m.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Aketegbo Community, Seme Border area of Lagos State.
Two of the suspects, Nuvoepa Sunday, 34 and Nuvoepa Kehinde, have been charged for the alleged conspiracy and armed robbery.
The suspects were alleged to have targeted the victim, who was going on a business trip through the Seme Border, accosted her with force of arms and took her to an undisclosed location. While there, they robbed her of the said money in her bag and thereafter raped her one after the other before they released her after satisfying themselves.
However, the ugly incident got exposed after the victim revealed what happened to her parents and the matter was reported to the Commissioner of Police Special Squad. The operatives moved into action and arrested one of the suspects while the accomplice escaped and is now at large.
After rounds of interrogation, the Police found him culpable and consequently charged him before the Ogba Magistrate Court for the alleged offence.
However, the Court did not take his plea when he was arraigned following a motion moved by the prosecutor, Supol Akeem Raji, asking the Court to seek legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecution.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. B.O. Osunsanmi, ordered his remand in custody at the correctional centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending the outcome of the DPP’s advice and directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send it to the DPP.
The matter was adjourned while the defendant was remanded in custody at Kirikiri town pending the outcome of the DPP’s advice on the matter.
