A UNILAG females student in 300 level has accused the former Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) DG's cousin and brother of Stephanie Okereke, of raping her repeatedly.
300-L UNILAG student, Arinola says the suspect, Prince Daniel Okereke, 37, took her into his home in Mende, Maryland on the 6th of November, and with the aid of his security guard, subdued her and raped her over and over.
The 22-year old told journalists that she first met him online.
She narrated as follows: "We became friends online and I gave him my number. He kept calling requesting to see me in school and I kept giving him one excuse or the other. He actually said that he wanted me to be his friend and I declined that I am a student and should be allowed to face my studies. On November 6, 2014, he called me that he was in my school compound. I was sick and told him that I was about to head to the pharmacy to get drugs.
"He volunteered to drive me to the pharmacy. I was impressed and grateful for such a kind gesture. After buying the drugs, we drove to the fast food and bought food. He asked me to join him to a seat out joint where I can relax and eat the food. I was surprised when he drove straight to his house at Mende, Maryland.
"When we got to his house, I told him that I was not interested in having sex with him, he called two of his security guards to help him to tie me up and seal my mouth. He then brought out his belt and started flogging me. He raped me severally till he was satisfied. He later removed the ropes and ordered me to get out of his house. I was in pains and knew that since the law will finally release him because of his status, I needed to destroy anything within reach. It was the neighbours whose car was destroyed that alerted the police at Area F, Ikeja.
"I wrote my statement and went to the hospital for examination. I was not surprised when I was told that he was granted bail the same day. My family had to report the matter to Panti and he was re-arrested."
Responding, Prince Daniel, who is a businessman, said "I am so ashamed of myself. We are family of professionals whom you know very well. I don't know what got into my head. I am sorry and plead for forgiveness."
When he was asked why Arinola destroyed property in his house, he said: "She thought I was going to force her to have sex with me. She started destroying everything which is so expensive. Yes, I had sex with her. I am very sorry, I need a way out."
Police PRO, Kenneth Nwosu has confirmed the incident and says the suspect will be charged to court for rape and assault.
