Rape: Man Defiles Sister And Asks Her To Frame Another Man

Men from the Lagos State Police Command have apprehended two men suspected of rape in the state.

In a statement issued by ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the spokesperson for the Nigeria Police Force, it is stated that on February 23, 2024, at approximately 11:50 p.m., Adepoju Ifedayo Moses “m,” 42 years old, reported at the Ifako Gbagada Divisional Headquarters, Lagos, that he had sent his younger sister, whose name is withheld and who is 13 years old and an orphan, on an errand at around 9 p.m. on the same day, but that man, 38 years old, had followed her into his room and defiled her.

According to Adejobi, a group of detectives from the division arrived on the spot, rescued the victim, and took the culprit into custody. He continued by saying that after a careful investigation, it was discovered that the victim’s uncle, Adepoju Ifedayo, was the same complainant who had actually defiled the victim earlier in the day and had given the victim instructions to lie against the original suspect. Two pistols manufactured locally and three spent cartridges were found during a search of the complainant’s home.

“Ending rape and defilement requires a concerted effort from all sectors of society. It requires us to speak out against injustice, support and protect survivors, and work towards a future where every individual is free from the threat of sexual harassment and violence.

“Together, we can create a world where rape and defilement are curbed, and our women and child girls and boys can live their lives free from fear, intimidation, and harassment,” he said.
