Police arrest two for alleged rape in Lagos

Lagos State Police Command's Rapid Response Squad (RRS) arrested two men for allegedly raping a 21-year-old woman.

They carried out the assault inside a 2017 Nissan Almera model in the business district of Alausa, Ikeja.

Police Public Relations Officer SP Benjamin Hundeyin announced the arrest in a statement on Thursday.

Solomon Barry, 37, and Bright Omega, 36, were caught in the act at around 3:45 a.m. on Saturday, September 10.

RRS officers on patrol stopped to check a black Nissan Almera parked at M.K.O. Abiola Gardens Road when they noticed the car.

Officers observed that the victim was unconscious and not responding to instructions.

Officers rounded up the suspects and drove the lady to RRS headquarters for medical attention where she regained consciousness.

Preliminary investigation showed that the lady met the suspects at a club around the Ikeja shopping center and then agreed to stay in a hotel, before they stopped halfway.

RRS Commander, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, acting on the instruction of Police Commissioner Abiodun Alabi, transferred the matter to the Police Gender Unit.
