Operatives of the Lagos state police command
have arrested the son of the owner of the Dallankester Hotels, Don-Chime
George, and his friend, Rasaq Oke, for allegedly drugging and raping a
23-year-old lady in the Lekki Phase 1 area of the state.
In a statement on Tuesday, the state Police
Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti, said that the accused allegedly
laced the victim’s drink with a substance that made her weak and
thereafter took her to the hotel where she was repeatedly raped.
According to Oti, the elder brother of the
victim took up the case and informed the police about the incident.
Operatives led by the Divisional Police Officer, Maroko Division, CSP
Isah Abdulmajid, swung into action, arrested the suspects and recovered a
video recording of the duo sexually abusing the unconscious victim from
their phones.
Oti said, “The gender section of the Lagos
State Police Command is investigating a case of rape reported against
one Razaq Oluwaseun Oke, 28, and Don-Chima George, 25, of the
Dallankester Hotels, Lekki, Phase 1, Lagos State.
“The duo allegedly took a girl, 23, to a
club on Saturday, February 2, 2019, unknown to her that they had an
ulterior motive. While at the club, they laced the young woman’s drink
with a substance that made her weak and almost unconscious. Satisfied
that the drug was beginning to affect the victim, they quietly left the
club with her to the Dallankester Hotels in Lekki Phase 1, which is
owned by the father of Don-Chima George.
“At the hotel, they took turns to rape her. As if that wasn’t enough, they made a video recording of the abuse.
“When the victim woke up from the induced
sleep, she confronted the suspects, who denied having carnal knowledge
of her. Not satisfied, she put a call through to her elder brother to
complain that she had been violated. The brother immediately invited
policemen from the Maroko Division led by the Divisional Police Officer,
CSP Isah Abdulmajid, to the scene.
“Upon searching the suspects, the DPO
recovered their phones and went through their video recordings, where he
saw a video of the suspects sexually abusing the apparently unconscious
victim.”
