The Gender Unit of the Lagos State Police Command has arraigned a 60 year old man, Ajayi Femi, for the alleged rape of a 24-year-old woman.
According to a press statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the incident was reported on August 22, 2025, by the victim’s sister at the Meiran Police Station. The case was immediately transferred to the Command’s Gender Unit for discreet investigation.
Further investigation including medical tests by the Gender Unit revealed that on the same day, the suspect spiked the survivor’s drink, rendering her unconscious before having unlawful sexual intercourse with her without her consent.
The suspect also made a confessional statement to that effect. He has since been charged to court and remanded in prison custody pending the next adjourned date given by the court.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, assures the public of the Command’s unwavering commitment to ensuring justice for survivors of sexual offences and maintaining a safe environment for all residents of Lagos State.
He further encourages members of the public to report all cases of sexual offences at the Family Support Units across divisions and area commands for prompt action and justice.
