Suleiman Balogun and Shefiu Adam before a Yaba
Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos over the alleged gang
rape of a 13 year old girl. How disgusting and sad!
The boys aged (15), (16) and (14) respectively, all reside
at the Iju area of Lagos. They are being tried on a
two-count charge of conspiracy and unlawful carnal
knowledge of a minor.
The Prosecutor, Insp. Rita Momah, told the court that
the teenagers and three others, now at large, committed
the offences on Oct. 5, in an uncompleted building. They
saw her leaving Church and requested that she purchase
drinks for them.
They then offered her a bottle of assorted drink that
was already spiked and lured the 13 year old to the
building, where the six of them took turns with her.
The accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charge
levelled against them. The judge, Mr F.A Adeeyo, granted
them bail in the sum of N300, 000 each, with two sureties
in like sum and adjourned the case to Dec. 7, for
continuation of hearing.
According to The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Section
137 prescribes life imprisonment for anyone found guilty
of child rape.
