Detectives attached to the Lagos
State Police Command are getting pretty confused as they listened to two
lovers, who met on Facebook, trade accusations.
While the lady, Precious claimed
that Mr. Ekene Onyetube 25, drugged, raped and stole her phones, Onyetube insisted
that he had a consensual sex with Precious.
Preferring to work on Precious’s
allegation, police arrested Onyetube for allegedly drugging and raping his
Facebook lover. The police said that the incident happened at De-Didos Hotel in
Lagos on May 5. The victim was alleged to have come all the way from Enugu
State, to meet Onyetube.
Onyetube was alleged to have lodged
the lady in a hotel, then later drugged and raped her. It was further gathered
that after raping her, he disappeared with her phones and voters’ card. The lady slept throughout the day until the
hotel management had to go to check the room. She was found sleeping deeply and
when repeated attempts to wake her failed, the alarmed hotel staff rushed her
to the nearest hospital. When the lady finally came to, she went to Ilembe
Hausa Police Station to lodge a complaint. The suspect was trailed and arrested
him. The matter was transferred to the Police Command, Ikeja.
The Lagos State Commissioner of
Police, Edgal Imohimi, said that Onyetube met Precious via Facebook and got
friendly with her, but the suspect insisted that he and Precious were old
friends that recounted on Facebook.
Imohimi noted: “The suspect invited
the lady, who resides at Enugu State, to pay him a visit at Lagos. She accepted.
It was in the hotel where she was lodged that the incident took place. After
she reported the matter, our detectives went into action and the suspect was
found at another hotel.”
Miss Precious recounted: “I
just concluded my NYSC program in Enugu State. I came to Lagos for a job
interview. Before then, we had been chatting on Facebook and on HITWE. He
repeatedly laid emphasis on us meeting and I finally agreed that we should meet.
He wanted me to meet him at a hotel, but I said no. Thus, we met at a hotel
bar. He ordered for drinks, and while we were drinking, I went to ease myself in
the toilet. I suspected that it was when I left that he added something into my
drink. I started feeling dizzy after taking the drink. I found myself at
the hotel room at midnight. I was really weak; I
couldn't say anything. I was just looking at him. He made some calls and from
the calls, I suspected he was a ‘yahoo yahoo boy.’ He made away with my bags,
two of my phones and my voter’s card.”
Onyetube, however, said: “We were
old friends, who had lost contacts, but luckily, we met on social media and
exchanged phone numbers. I never invited her to Lagos, she came on her own.
When she came to Lagos, she called me that she would like to see me. She
said that she needed transport to go back to Enugu. We lodged in a hotel for two
days. We were going in and out of the hotel together to enjoy ourselves. After
the two days, I left her with N5000. I left because I had a work to attend to;
I’m into solar energy installation. I didn't know the N5000 wasn't enough. She
went to those places we had been too like the hotels, city points, and others
to lodge complaints that I stole her phone and raped her which I didn't.”
Imohimi warned youngsters to be wary
of those who promise them gifts and better life, especially on the social media.
The police boss said that the youths should seek the advice of their parents at
all times about people making promises to them.
