The police in Lagos have arrested two fake soldiers who allegedly raped a teenager at the Oworonsoki area of the state.
Joseph
Agbo, 26 and Balogun Damilola, 20, were arrested by policemen attached
to the Oworonsoki Division, who recovered a pair of army camouflage, two
berets, two mobile phones and four Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards
from them.
Also recovered were a lanyard, army accoutrements and identity card bearing different names.
It
was gathered that the 15-year-old victim (names withheld) reported to
the station on how she was abducted by two men on army uniform the
previous night and raped till dawn.
She alleged that she was
running an errand along her Akerele Street residence when the men riding
a motorcycle accosted and whisked her away.
The victim reported
that they took her to Bariga by Murtala Bus stop, where she was
repeatedly raped and threatened to be killed should she shout.
She was said to have alleged that her rapists released her in the early hours of August 13.
Following
the victim’s report, anti crime patrolmen from the station led by the
Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Mary Anyim, a Chief Superintendent of
Police (CSP) mobilised to the address and the suspects were caught.
On
