A prosecution witness, Inspector Olamide Olayemi said the
four dismissed soldiers charged with rape of seven commercial
sex workers in Abuja left their guard duty-post to commit the
crime.
Olayemi stated this while giving evidence at an FCT High Court
in Abuja on yesterday where the dismissed soldiers, Nse
Eywdip, 33; Ugwu Mathew, 23; Emezien Uzonna, 24, and Efosa
Ikhomoregbe, 23 are being tried.
They were arraigned on a 12-count charge bordering on
conspiracy, rape, assault and armed robbery on January 23,
2013.
Olayemi, while being led in evidence by the prosecutor, Mr
Adama Musa, told the court that on the day of the incidence,
they were supposed to be on duty at the Airtel Mast in Wuse
2.
“The accused persons left their guard duty-post with their
Hilux Van, armed with their official riffles.
“The accused persons arrested the victims and collected N104,
000 from them which they shared among themselves,” he
said.
The witness, who was also one of the investigating police
officer, told the court that he took the statement of the fourth
accused (Ikhomoregbe).
“The fourth accused told me that he got only N1, 500 as his
share from the amount they stole from their victims.
“He also told me that his colleague, Matthew, the second
accused, had sexual intercourse with one of the victims with
her consent,” he said.
Olayemi also told the court that he led the team of police
officers who took the victims to the Wuse General Hospital,
where they were examined by medical doctors and that a
medical report was sent to the police.
He further told the court that at the end of their
investigation,
the police filed a case of criminal conspiracy, rape, assault
and
armed robbery against the four soldiers.
After listening to the testimony, the presiding judge, Justice
Mudashiru Oniyangi, adjourned the case to February 19 for
continuation of hearing.
The soldiers already have been dismissed from the Nigeria
Army, were alleged to have committed the offence between
December 21 and 23, 2012 at about 9 p.m. at the River Plate
Garden, in Wuse 2, Abuja. They pleaded not guilty.
