A 25-year-old lady identified as Nnena Okoro, who hails from Abia state has been arrested and arraigned before an Apapa High Court for conniving with a rapist to molest a 14 year old girl, pictured above.
The teenager whose identity remain undisclosed was lured from her home where she lived with her aunt in Sumoratu Estate, off Ojo Road, Lagos State to a hotel in Wowo street in Ojo Lagos where she was raped on May 16th.
According to reports, Nnena who resides in the same area with Faith and was the little girl's confidant, had on the day of the incident asked Faith to get her some mangoes at Barracks area.
When they got to Wowo street, she lured the girl into the hotel which is located on the same street, and handed her to the rapist.
Narrating what happened, the victim said: "Aunty Nnena (Okoro) said I should follow her to buy mangoes in Barracks Lane. She did not like the mangoes they had there and she said we should go to Ojo Road. We went to a hotel and met a man, who she called her friend. Aunty Nnena told me to enter a room. Suddenly, both of them dragged me to the bed.
"Nnena held my hand and covered my mouth with a cloth. The man pulled off my trousers and raped me. He left the hotel immediately he finished doing it and said he had paid Aunty Nnena. I went outside crying. It was one woman around the area that helped to clean the blood coming out from my private parts when she saw me. She later took me to the Layeni Police Station."she said
Nnena in her confessional statement denied taking Faith to the rapist.
However, atest carried out on Faith showed her hymen had been ruptured.
