“On the 22nd of April, 2020, while a lady(namewitheld) was coming from her place of work where she performed night duty, she came across Goddey Robinson (who has been making advances to her before then) in an isolated area in the Opic area of Agbara.
The rescued victim
‘The suspect took advantage of the isolated area, dragged the victim to a nearby bush and forcefully had carnal knowledge of her. Having done that, he strangulated the victim until she momentarily passed out and pushed her into a ditch.
“After sometime, the victim regained her consciousness and shouted for help, she was rescued , and the suspect was eventually apprehended on April 24th.
“The victim is still bedridden at the Igbobi Orthopedic Hospital, Lagos for spinal cord injury.” CP Ebrimson.
The suspect,Robinson denied the rape allegation. He claimed the victim was his girlfriend and that they spent the night together and got into an argument on their way out the next morning.
“She is my girlfriend and we were arguing when we left my place that morning and in annoyance I mistakenly pushed her and I did not know that she fell into a pit.”Robinson claimed.
On why he didn’t rescue her when she fell into a ditch, the suspect responded that he wasn’t aware that she fell into a pit and didn’t look back after pushing her in annoyance.
