The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 31-year-old man, identified only as Damilola, for allegedly raping a 25-year-old woman on Omole Estate, in the Ojodu area of the state.
It was gathered that the victim and Damilola are members of a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and the victim had invited the suspect to her birthday party which held on July 19th but the suspect didn't come.
According to reports, the suspect told the victim that he had a surprise gift for her five days after her birthday party that he missed. The two were said to have gone to Damilola’s apartment on Otubor Street on Omole Estate.
A neighbour, who spoke on condition of anonymity said the suspect lured the victim to his house a week after her birthday party.
She said, “Damilola and the lady were church friends. The lady had her birthday on Tuesday, July 19, and she invited all youths in the church who were her friends. Damilola, however, did not come. He, thereafter, called her to apologise and promised to make it up.
“On the following Sunday, Damilola called her that he had set up a makeup party and that the two were going to a restaurant. However, he took her to his house in the estate, and locked her up. He beat her up and raped her.
“When the lady regained her freedom, she reported the matter at the police station. On Monday, she, accompanied by other church youth executive, went to the DSVRT office in Alausa to make another report.”
