Police Nab Most Wanted Suspected Serial Rapist

CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

Police operatives from the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a suspected most wanted serial rapist, Chucks Emmanuel, at the Egbeda area of the State.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that Chuks Emmanuel, is currently facing interrogation at the Area F Police Command, Ikeja, for alleged rape and fraud.
According to a Police source, Emmanuel had been on the Police wanted list over a long period of time until last week when a special squad deployed by the Area F Commander, ACP Olasoji Akinbayo, picked him up in a hotel .
According to the Police, female victims had complained bitterly on how Emmanuel lured them to hotel rooms, where he subjected them to all sorts of blackmails after sleeping with them.
Emmanuel was alleged to have forced his victims to pay him some amount of money or risk their nude photographs being exposed on the internet.
However, Emmanuel ran out of luck as the Police used another lady to set him up and he fell to the bait.
Emmanuel, who spoke with our correspondent, said: “I came to Lagos few months ago and things were very rough for me. As I could no longer bear hunger, I thought on how to survive. Then came the thought of getting some females that I would have sex with and blackmail them thereafter. I thought of the most vulnerable and I discovered that the best target should be the mature and single ladies. I opened a Facebook account with the name Dr. Chibuzor, MD/ CEO Health Wellbeing Therapy. I started sending friend requests to ladies on Facebook.  My efforts paid off as single and mature ladies started accepting my friend requests. I will send request to those who I suspected maybe lonely and started chatting with them. From chatting, the relationship would develop to love affection”.
“When I gained their confidence, I will request to meet with them in any of the three choice hotels that I used. They will honour my invitation for them to feel that I was a big guy. I will tell them to give me their location, where my boy will come and pick them. I will go and pick them up pretending to be an errand boy to the big man who invited them. Already I would have paid for a hotel room. When we arrive the rooms, I will check my victims in and ask them to relax as my master would soon arrive. After about two and half hours, I will come back to the room and inform that my master would no longer be around as an important official assignment took him outside Lagos. It is at that moment that I will start working on their brains; telling them her how I would assist if they would agree to have sex with me. They usually agree, and after sex I will demand for money from them and they willingly will give me.”
“I was not using diabolical means. I think they succumbed out of fear or that they needed sex. There was one that surprised me the most; as I touched her breast; she started shouting that I should not waste time in doing it. This woman was denied sex for a long period of time. She is now claiming that I raped her. Many ladies out there are sex starved. I did not rape any of my victims. They willingly gave their bodies to me. They also gave me money for the best reasons known to them. May be, they were afraid that I would expose their nude photographs on the internet but that never crossed my mind. I have questions for my victims; did any of them raise alarm when I was sleeping them and why did they not report to the hotel managements? I was using three hotels; none of the hotels that I used ever complained that I raped anyone in their rooms.”
“What has happened has happened, let us treat the matter the way it is. I did not rape or intimidate anyone. Well, I am not saying that what I did was right because I lured them to the hotels and used their brains so as to have sex with them. I also collected money from them after sex. The last one that put me in trouble was a lady that paid N55,000.00. She told her friend how I collected the money after sleeping with her, so her friend decided to fight for her. She reported the matter to the Police, who advised her to send me a friend request and I accepted the request. She later booked an appointment with me in a hotel. While we were discussing at the pool side, the Police picked me. It was at the Police station that I was told my offences.”
“I am not happy with the shame I have brought upon myself and my family. My mother has already disowned me. I am very sorry for what I did. But, when you look at it critically, you will reason with me that many single ladies are dying and yearning for companion and love making. All the same, I am so sorry but the Police should not accuse me of rape and blackmail. I only used my brain to take advantage of my victims. ”
The manager of one of the hotels that the suspect mentioned that he used to take his victims to, Akpan, said: “I know Emmanuel very well. He has brought female friends three times. The thing is that I am still shocked with what I am hearing because none of the female visitors had raised the alarm that she was raped. The rule in our hotel is that once a lodger has a visitor and he or she is checking out, then two of them must leave together. We won’t allow anyone to leave without knowing the condition of the other person”.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, said that the case was being investigated.
