Rapid Response Squad (RRS) Operatives have arrested two men for allegedly raping a 21-year-old dancer in the Ikeja area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that the rape was carried out inside a Nissan Almera car, 2017 model in Alausa Business District, Ikeja.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), a Superintendent of Police (SP), Benjamin Hundeyin, and the suspects, Solomon Barry, 37, and Bright Omega, 36, were caught in the act around 3:45 a.m. on Saturday, 10th September 2022.
The RRS officers, who were on patrol of Alausa Business District stopped to check a parked Black Nissan Almera at M.K.O Abiola Gardens Road, Alausa when they noticed the alleged rape.

The officers promptly rounded up the suspects and urgently drove the lady to RRS Headquarters for medical attention where she regained consciousness.
