Kelly Ochuko, a guy who works as security, has been arrested for ra’ping a 24-year-old lady, Tivere, while she was returning from a vigil at Prophet TB Joshua’s Synagogue Church of All Nation. The incident took place around 2am on Mutiatu Street in Ikotun, Lagos State.
The victim, Tivere, had travelled to Lagos from Delta State to participate in the midnight programme. At 2am, she left for her lodgings when 27-year-old Kelly Ochukwo accosted her. The guy who was employed by the Igando area guards, allegedly threatened to harm the victim with a cutlass.
She yielded and followed him into a nearby building where he “did it” with her…
After having carnal knowledge of the 24yrs old, Ochuko was said to have pleaded with her to marry him, and he exchanged phone numbers with her that night.
But after being freed from him, the victim approached some policemen she saw at a junction and narrated her ordeal to them. The policemen plotted with Tivere to call Ochukwo to see her off to the park where she would board a bus back to Sapele.
The unsuspecting Ochukwo came out to see off his “sweet lover”, only to be arrested by the police.
He was arraigned before an Ebute Meta Magistrate’s Court, Lagos, on 2-counts of ra’pe. Ochuko pleaded not guilty to the charge and elected summary trial.
Magistrate Ms Badejo-Okusanya granted him bail in N50,000 and adjourned the case till March 4, 2014.
