A
17-year old girl (name withheld) has narrated before an Ejigbo
magistrate’s court in Lagos, how two friends, Ekene Uzor, 24, and Eni
Daniel, 21, allegedly gang-raped her after they had forced her to suck
their penises. They also took her nude photo with their camera phones.
The teenager was giving evidence before the
court in a two-count charge of forcing her to suck the defendants’
penises and gang-raping her.
At
Thursday’s resumed hearing before the trial magistrate, Mrs. M.B.
Folami, the girl said she knew Daniel Uzor, who is in the entertainment
industry, at her mother’s shop in Surulere, Lagos, southwest Nigeria.
The victim stated that Uzor promised to
groom her to become a star in the entertainment industry and under this
guise, he invited her to his residence at 10, Joe Ejeye, Jakande Estate,
Ejigbo.
She said on the day of the incident, she
went to Uzor’s flat where his friend, Eni Daniel was already waiting,
adding that immediately she entered, Uzor locked the door to the flat.
“They came to me and started fondling my
breasts and other parts of my body. They ordered me to remove my dress.
They started taking my nude photographs and threatened to post them on
the internet.
“They forced me to suck their penises. They
had rounds of sex with me in turns. When they were satisfied, they told
me to go. But they did not delete my nude photographs in their camera
phones,” the girl narrated her ordeal.
She disclosed that she did not inform
anyone of her experience because of fear that her nude photographs might
be posted on the internet.
But after some days, she summoned the
courage and narrated the incident to her grandfather who took her to the
police station to report the matter.
She said when the police arrested Uzor and Eni, her
nude photographs were still in their mobile phones. The photographs
were later downloaded and printed in hard copies. The court admitted
them as exhibits.
The police prosecutor, Mr. Oladejo Balogun,
charged Uzor and Eni before the court with the offences punishable
under sections 409 and 259 of the criminal code laws of Lagos state of
Nigeria, 2011.
At the commencement of the case, they pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to them.
The trial magistrate, Mrs. Folami admitted them to bail in the sum of N500,000 each with two sureties each in like sum.
Uzor and Eni were remanded in prison custody pending when they will perfect their bail condition.
The court has adjourned the matter till 31 August, 2012 for continuation of the trial.
