Firstclass newsline learnt that a 25-year-old woman, Nnena Okoro, has
been arrested by the police after she reportedly lured a 14-year-old
girl, Faith (not real name) to a hotel, where a man raped her.
Okoro lives in Sumoratu Estate, off Ojo Road, Lagos State, where the
victim resides. She was said to have been Faith's confidant.
Firstclass newsline learnt that on the noon of May 16, when the
girl's aunt, with whom she lives, was not around, Okoro approached her
and requested that she accompanied her to the Barracks area to buy
mangoes.
It was learnt that Okoro rejected the mangoes available in the area
and went to Wowo, a nearby street, where the hotel was located.
Firstclass newsline was told that Okoro, who had allegedly collected
an undisclosed amount from the fleeing rapist, lured Faith into a room
in the hotel and shut the door.
Faith said her mouth was covered, as Nnena aided the man to rape her.
She said, "Aunty Nnena (Okoro) said I should follow her to buy mangoes
in Barracks Lane. She did not like the mangoes they had there and she
said we should go to Ojo Road. We went to a hotel and met a man, who
she called her friend. Aunty Nnena told me to enter a room. Suddenly,
both of them dragged me to the bed. Nnena held my hand and covered my
mouth with a cloth. The man pulled off my trousers and raped me. He
left the hotel immediately he finished doing it and said he had paid
Aunty Nnena."
"I went outside crying. It was one woman around the area that helped
to clean the blood coming out from my private parts when she saw me.
She later took me to the Layeni Police Station."
In her statement to the police, Okoro, who hails from Abia State,
confessed to taking the girl to the hotel. She denied coercing the
victim into the act and claimed that she had never met the man prior
to the incident.
She said, "Faith is my friend. On the fateful day, we both went to buy
mangoes on Ojo Road. On getting to a hotel at Tolu, one man called
her. They both discussed and the man paid N500 to the hotel attendant
and they entered the room. I later left them inside the room to ease
myself. It was when I came back that she told me that she was raped. I
did not know that she was a virgin. We have never discussed anything
like that before. Her pants were stained with blood. I have never seen
the man before that day, but I can recognise him if I see him again."
Firstclass newsline learnt that Okoro had been arraigned before an
Apapa Magistrate's Court on two counts bordering on the crime, while
the police said they had launched a manhunt for the suspect.
The charges read, "That you, Nnena Okoro, and one other male, now at
large, on May 16, 2015, at about 3.20pm, at Graziela Hotel on Wowo
Street, Tolu, Ajegunle, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did
conspire to commit felony to wit; defilement, and thereby committed an
offence punishable under Section 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos
State of Nigeria, 2011.
"That you, Nnena Okoro, on the same date, time and place in the
aforementioned magisterial district, did hold the hands of 14-year-old
Faith to the bed and allowed one other man at large to have unlawful
carnal knowledge of her, and thereby committed an offence punishable
under Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria,
2011."
The accused pleaded not guilty.
A police prosecutor, ASP Olusoji Ojaokomo, said a medical test
conducted on the girl revealed that her hymen had been ruptured.
The defendant's counsel pleaded with the court to grant bail to his client.
The presiding m agistrate, Mr. P.A. Adekomaya, admitted her to bail
in the sum of N100,000. He adjourned the case till June 22,
