Customs officer rapes, video-tapes female friend

A Customs officer, simply identified as Samuel, has been ar­rested by the Lagos State Po­lice Command for allegedly raping and video-taping the nudity of his female friend.
The 29-year-old man had threatened to post the clip on the social media when­ever he demanded to have sex with her and she refused.
The two met on an online dating platform, Badoo. The Customs personnel later in­vited her to his house in the Ogba area of Lagos.
In March 2017, the 26-year-old lady was said to have visited Samuel and after entertaining her, he re­portedly made love advanc­es to her, which she allegedly rejected. Samuel was said to have left her in the apart­ment, locked the door from outside and went out.
Samuel returned home seven hours later when the woman had almost become unconscious, raped her and took a video of her naked­ness.
A police officer told newsmen that: “The suspect is a Customs officer. He and the victim met on Badoo and he asked her to visit him. She honoured the invi­tation, unknown to her that he had a hidden agenda.
“Whenever he called her to come to his house and she refused, he would threaten to put the video on the social media and out of fear, she would yield to his request.
“At a point, she declined an invitation to his house and dared him. He sent the video to her relative to show that he meant his threat. The relative and the victim later reported the case to the police, leading to his arrest.”
The suspect is now at the Sexual and Domestic Vio­lence Unit of the command headquarters in Ikeja.-The Authority
