A robbery suspect, Ebere Nwankwo was arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly attacking and raping a male victim in the Lekki area of the state.
According to The Punch, the victim, identified simply as Martins was raped after 20-year-old Nwankwo had dispossessed him of N22,000.
The incident occurred when Nwankwo, who was armed with a gun gained entrance into Martin’s apartment at Goshen Estate in the Lekki area.
After ransacking the apartment, Nwankwo ordered Martins to lie down and raped him.
According to a source Martin’s scream alerted some policemen on patrol attached to the Maroko Division.
He said, “The robber had threatened to force his victim to an Automated Teller Machine, where he would get more money from him. In the meantime, the suspect asked his victim to lie on the bed and he started having sexual intercourse with him.
“Some policemen, who were patrolling the estate, heard screams from an apartment and they drew close. When they forced the door open, the suspect and the victim were found having anal sex.”
While speaking to the police Nwankwo said he had sexual intercourse with the victim to gain magical powers.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos who confirmed the incident, said the robbery suspect would be charged to court with sodomy and stealing.
She said, “The suspect has confessed to the crime. He said the sexual intercourse was to make his victim forget about the stealing. We will charge him to court with sodomy and stealing.”
