Photo: Benin Republic Nationals Sentenced To 10 Years Imprisonment With Hard Labour In Nigeria For Rape
Two nationals of Benin Republic were yesterday sentenced to 10
years imprisonment each for raping a 20-year old Nigerian girl who hawks sweets.
It was learnt that the young girl was hawking sweets around Yansiwhe
in Makoko area of Lagos State when they called her and bought some sweets from
her, but refused to pay her, and raped her instead.
The men, who were six in number, took turns to rape her
until she fainted. They later revived her and asked her to leave the primary
school premises where the incident took place and go home to take care of herself. But instead of going home she
went straight to Yaba police station where she reported the matter.
Setonji 40, and Abraham Huvensu, 25, pictured above were
later arrested and arraigned. The four others according to police are still
at large but efforts are been made to track them down.
The chief magistrate after finding the two men guilty sentenced
them to 10years imprisonment with hard labour.
