A 35-year old man, Abiodun Ibrahim, has been arrested in Lagos for allegedly raping his married lover in her husband’s matrimonial home.
The incident reportedly happened at Bola Street in Ebute Metta area of Lagos where the woman simply identified as Feyintola resides with her husband.
There was twist in the matter after the suspect told the police that he only went there to see the new baby because he was responsible for the pregnancy before the woman got married.
It was gathered that the woman in question reportedly had a relationship with Ibrahim who impregnated her before she met her present husband known as Babalola and opted to marry him with the consent of Ibrahim.
After the woman was delivered of the baby, Ibrahim was secretly going to the woman’s husband house to take care of her needs until her husband was informed by neighbours and he then set trap for him.
The woman’s husband, Babalola, went to Denton Police Division and alleged that Ibrahim raped his wife. He alleged that Ibrahim forced his wife into having sex in their matrimonial home and eventually abducted her and her baby to Ajegunle area of Lagos without their consent.
But at the police station, Ibrahim opened up and told the police that the baby belonged to him and challenged the husband for a DNA test. The police found him culpable and charged him before Ebute Metta Magistrates Court for rape and abduction.
The court did not take his plea after the prosecutor, Inspector Maria Daudu, asked the Court for the DPP’s advice on the matter. Thus, the Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. A.O.Ajibade, ordered the defendant, Ibrahim, to be remanded in prison without an option of bail.
The Court also directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send to the DPP for advice. The matter was adjourned pending the outcome of the DPP’s report.
