One Chinonye Obi, a sales girl
working in Computer Village, has accused 27-year-old Daniel Okwudili of
drugging and raping her till day-break.
When 27-year old Daniel Okwudili
deceived Chinonye Obi to accompany him to her boss, Mr. Nnadika’s house,
she never knew she would end up an all-night rape victim.
Obi, said Okwudili, a
businessman at a distance plaza, requested her to accompany her visit her
boss’s wife who just gave birth.
On the way to her boss’s house,
Okwudili took her to a drinking bar, where he asked for ‘point and kill
fish’ pepper soup delicacy. Obi said she only requested for malt drink which
was served.
She said: “I became pressed and went
to urinate. When I came back and took the drink, I started feeling weak and
drowsy. I didn’t know what had happened until I saw myself naked in his bedroom
at Agege. I checked the time; it was 2: am. Okwudili had raped me. When I
looked round, Okwudili has gone to the parlour to sleep.”
Obi said she picked Okwudili’s car
key and escaped while he was still asleep. She reported the matter to her boss
and Pen Cinema Police Station
Part of the charge sheet,
MIK/A/23/2016 reads: “That you Okwudili Daniel, of No.4 Adeniyi Waya Street by
