ordered her to cooperate so the husband
could rape her
A man and his wife in Lagos have been arrested
and taken to court after they were accused of rape.
Ezechima Patrick and his wife, Uzoima were
said to have conspired to commit the crime with
the wife holding down the 16-year-old maid and
ordering her to cooperate.
The Prosecutor, ASP Godwin Anyanwu,
reportedly told the court:
"Patrick conspired with his wife to defile the 16-
year-old girl. Uzoima had overpowered the girl
for the husband to rape her.''
Anyanwu said further that Uzoima threatened to
stab the victim if she put up any resistance.
The duo were charged with conspiracy, child
defilement and rape before a Magistrate court in
Yaba but they denied the allegations.
