A woman, Ukamaka Oluche, who allegedly lured her teenage friend
(names withheld) to a suspected rapist, Tunde Mesanga, has landed
herself and the man in serious trouble.
An Apapa Magistrate’s
Court in Lagos where they are standing trial on a two-count charge of
conspiracy and rape, has ordered that they be remanded at Kirikiri
prisons, Apapa.
It was gathered that Ukamaka was a
friend to the 18-year old teenage girl for some years. The victim
confided in Ukamaka that she was a virgin and would like to remain so
until after her university education and marriage. The teenager did not
know that her friend, Ukamaka, was not happy at such a revelation.
Ukamaka
therefore lured the victim to suspected rapist’s house somewhere in
Agric area of Lagos-Badagry expressway, where she was allegedly raped by
Mesanga. Both of them reportedly stripped the victim while Tunde raped
her.
The incident was later reported to the police and the lady and Mesanga were arrested and charged to court.
Also according to PM News, the police prosecutor told the court that the two suspects
contravened sections 409 and 263 of the Criminal Code Laws of Lagos
state of Nigeria, 2011. When the charge was read to them, Ukamaka and
Mesanga pleaded not guilty. The presiding magistrate, Mr. E.O. Ogundare
admitted each of them to bail in the sum of N200,000 with one surety
each in the like sum.
The matter was adjourned till 19 October,
2012 for mention. But because they did not meet the bail condition on
time, they were remanded in Kirikiri prisons, Apapa, pending when their
sureties will perfect their bail conditions.
