The Police in Lagos
yesterday charged two motor mechanics, Taiwo Azeez, 23 and Isiaka Taofeek, 20,
in an Ebute-Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court over alleged rape.
The duo, who appeared on a
two-count charge of conspiracy and rape, were alleged to have forcefully had
sexual intercourse with Kikelomo Agbebi, 28.
Prosecuting Inspector
Chinalu Uwadione said the offence were committed on July 30 around 5.30pm, on
3, Meiran road, Meiran-Ijaiye, Lagos.
Uwadione explained that the
complainant’s father had solicited the services of a painter for his 3-bedroom
apartment when the duo obliged to take up the job.
“It was during the course of
painting the rooms that the accused forcefully took turns in having sexual
intercourse with Agbebi in one of the rooms where she was staying,” he said.
According to Nwadione, the
offence contravened Sections 258 and 409 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State.
Taofeek and Azeez, however,
pleaded not guilty to the two charges levelled against them.
Their counsel, Mr Spurgeon
Ataene, applied for the bail of his client in the most liberal terms.
Chief Magistrate Oluyemisi
Adelaja admitted them to N300, 000 bail with two sureties in the like sum.
She adjourned the matter
till September 5.
