A sex-crazy printer, 39-year old Oluseje Israel is now cooling his heels at Kirikiri Prisons, Apapa, Lagos for allegedly raping two girls at a go at his one-room apartment at 2, Ododo Ayika Street, Egan on the outskirts of Lagos.
P.M.NEWS learnt that the two teenage girls aged 13 are primary six pupils. One of the teenagers, visited her friend who resides in the same house with the randy printer when he called them, pretending he wanted to send the two friends on an errand.
But immediately the girls entered his room, he locked the door, stripped himself and ordered the teenagers to also remove their dresses.
When they hesitated and tried to raise the alarm, Israel reportedly threatened to kill the two girls if they failed to carry out his instructions.
He actually demonstrated his seriousness when he tore the underwear of one of them.
Terrified because of the threat to their lives, the two teenage girls complied with Israel’s instructions while he raped them in turns.
After the act, the victims went and told their parents what happened.
The matter was reported at Igando police division and Israel was arrested and charged to Ejigbo Magistrate’s Court for rape.
The offence is punishable Section 137 of the Criminal Code Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.
He pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Mr Oladejo Balogun opposed his bail on the ground that he had become wild and he was posing a serious danger to the young girls in their area.
There was a mild drama at the court when the parents of the victims told the presiding magistrate that they wanted to settle the matter out of the court. They hinged their reason on the ground that he did not deflower them.
But the victims countered their parents’ claims and told the court that he actually had sex with them forcefully.
The trial magistrate, Mrs. M. B. Folami who frowned at the conduct of the parents of the girls, ordered that the defendant be remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri pending the doctor’s report.
The matter was adjourned till 17 August, 2012 for mention.
