An Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court, on Monday, fixed May 9 to deliver judgment on the case of Yusuf Quadri, a 26-year-old teacher, who allegedly raped his colleague in her home.

Justice Abiola Soladoye fixed the judgment date following the filing of the final written addresses of Mr Kelechi Obi, Quadri’s counsel, and Mrs Fehinti Ogbemudia, the state prosecuting counsel.

According to the prosecution, Quadri committed the offences on Sep. 24, 2017 at the complainant’s home at Ikotun, Lagos.

“The defendant and the 30-year-old complainant are colleagues and teachers in a secondary school.

“The defendant gave the complainant his phone to help him charge in her home; when he came to her house to collect the phone, he raped her,” the prosecutor said.

The offence contravenes Section 260 of the Criminal Law of Lagos 2015. (NAN)
