"He chatted up the lady on the dating site and from there, their conversation shifted to Whatsapp, a mobile messaging application."

Two students from different universities have been arrested for raping and robbing a 27-year-old lady.

Valentine, a student at a University in Imo state, and Kusimo, a student at a polytechnic in Ogun state, reportedly lured the lady, whose name was simply given as Nike, to a hotel where they each took turns raping her.

The incident happened on Thursday, January 14 on Idowu Ibiyemi Street, in the Igando area of Lagos State,and the perpetrators have been taken int custody at Igando Police Division after the victim raised an alarm.

Speaking with Punch, a Police source said, “Valentine is a 400-level Civil Engineering student of a university in Imo State. He chatted up the lady on the dating site and from there, their conversation shifted to Whatsapp, a mobile messaging application.

“The suspect told his friend, Kusimo, about the girl and they decided to trick her. Kusimo, a student of a polytechnic in Ogun State, would sometimes take Valentine’s phone and be chatting with Nike, without the girl knowing that it was Kusimo.

“Having done that for some days, they decided to invite her to Lagos.”

Nike, who lived in Ibadan, reportedly made the trip to Lagos to meet with Valentine. According to the police source, he took her to a hotel instead of his apartment which was their agreement.

The source said, “The girl did not know she was taken to a hotel because he took her through the back into the room.

“The second suspect, had, however, hid inside the toilet. As the lady entered the room, Valentine shut the door and Kusimo jumped out from his hideout with a bottle. He smashed the bottle on the ground and he told the girl to cooperate or they would kill her.

“While Valentine had two rounds, the second suspect had three rounds of sex with her. After they had raped her, they robbed her of her BlackBerry and N15, 000.

“In order to prevent her from exposing them, they took snapshots of her nakedness and threatened that if she told anyone about her ordeal, they would put the pictures on the Internet.”

After the act, Valentine decided to see her off. This was when Nike raised an alarm to passers -by and the police was able to intervene.
