they committed the crime.
According to Punch , Quadri, in company of

his friend, Orji, had gone to ease himself at a
nearby bush. It was at this point that they
spotted their victim, who was alone in her
room.
25-year-old Orji was reported to have stabbed
the woman by the shoulder and took valuable
items such as her phones, Ipad, perfumes
and other personal effects.
The pair also took turns to rape he woman
for thirty minutes before leaving her.
It was the residents of the area that took the
woman to the hospital and also reported the
case to the police station.
The culprits were caught after selling the
victim's phones, Punch reports
According to a source, “After they committed
the crime, they fled and thought that was the
end of the case. They sold one of the
woman’s phone to someone.
"We were able to track the phone and get
that person arrested. The buyer led us to
them. They did not deny the crime.”
One of the suspects, Quadri, who hails from
Abia State explained that they were drunk
when they committed the act.
“It was around 10pm on Sunday night at Ajah
that the incident happened. We went for a
festival and became drunk. We later felt we
should go to a hotel to have another drink.
“On the way, I went to a nearby bush to
defecate. After I was done, we saw that the
house opposite the bush had no gate or any
form of security. We decided to enter the
building. We observed that there was a lady
in her room alone.
“We saw that her kitchen did not have any
burglar-proof bar, so we entered through the
kitchen. I was outside watching to know if
anybody would come, while Orji was inside.”
According to Fatai Owoseni, the Lagos State
Commissioner of Police, the victim is at the
hospital and is responding to treatment.
