Two University of Lagos (Unilag) students who allegedly attempted to rape their course mate on Thursday appeared before a Yaba chief magistrates’ court in Lagos on a five-count charge.
The students, Ikedi Okpanlanedu (21), and Samuel Idongesit (20), are facing charges of conspiracy, attempted rape, assault, impersonation and threatening violence.
The Prosecutor, Sgt. Modupe Olaluwoye, told the court that the undergraduates invited the victim, who was their course mate and a makeup artiste, to a hotel room and attempted to rape her.
Olaluwoye said the defendants committed the offences at 04.40pm on April 1, 2019, at Peace Land Hotel, Folagoro, Lagos State.
She said the defendants promised to introduce the makeup artiste to a person who needed her service, but attempted to rape her on arrival at the hotel room.
“My lord, they strangled her because she was calling for help. It was a hotel staff, Mr. Ohaeri Godlove, who heard her screaming and called the hotel security,” she said. (NAN)
