The Lagos State Police Command, Gender Unit, has charged to court one Ajayi Femi, who is aged 60, over the rape of a female victim, aged 24.
On 22 August 2025, the case was reported by the victim’s sister at Meiran Police Station and was subsequently transferred to the Gender Unit of the Command on the same day for discreet investigation.
Further investigation including medical tests by the Gender Unit revealed that on the same day, the suspect spiked the survivor’s drink, rendering her unconscious before having unlawful sexual intercourse with her without her consent. The suspect also made a confessional statement to that effect.
He has since been charged to court and remanded in prison custody pending the next adjourned date given by the court.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, assured the public of the Command’s unwavering commitment to ensuring justice for survivors of sexual offences and maintaining a safe environment for all residents of Lagos State.
He further encouraged members of the public to report all cases of sexual offences at the Family Support Units across divisions and area commands for prompt action and justice.
