Woman Collects Money, Hands 14-Year-Old Virgin To Rapist In Lagos Hotel (Photo)

A 25-year-old woman, Nnena Okoro, has
been arrested by the police after she
reportedly lured a 14-year-old girl, Faith
(pseudonym) 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.
PUNCH Metro gathered 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.
Our correspondent 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 Molest 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.”
PUNCH Metro 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, 2015.
