Gang of six rapes two sisters in Lagos

Two sisters, Essiet, 18, and 20-year-old Debby have been raped by a gang of six men who accosted them in the Bariga area of Lagos State.

The victims were returning from a hospital in the Oworonsoki area last Thursday when they were attacked by the suspects.

While Essiet was deflowered by four men, her elder sister, Debby, was ravished by two of the hoodlums.

Describing the horrible experieince with Punch Newspaper, Essiet said:


“It happened on May 21 around 11pm. My sister and I went to give food to a family member who had just given birth to a baby in Oworonsoki.

“We were returning in the night when we saw the men. They had guns, cutlasses and other weapons. “They waylaid us and said if we shouted they would kill us. They took us to a spot around Dahomey junction and raped us.”

The second victim, Debby, described the incident as painful. She said she wanted the suspects punished and their accomplices, who were still at large, arrested.

She said, “Two of them raped me, while four raped my sister. “The third man wanted to rape me when a car approached. They all took to their heels. It was a painful experience.

I have taken different medications and visited the hospital as well.”

A day after the act, one of the victims, while passing through the area, spotted one of the suspects. She was said to have reported the matter to the police, who arrested the suspect.

Debby said, “We were able to recognise him because when they were raping us, he took my phone and also shouted at me to stop looking at him. We saw his face clearly.

“I just want them to go to jail for what they have done to us.”
