Culled From- VANGUARD
Residents of Ogida quarters in Benin City were shocked
last Saturday when they woke to see a house wife (names withheld) shouting and
pleading for help.
They rushed to the house only to discover that the
woman was raped by three young men who stormed the house at about
3am.
They further discovered the victim’s husband who was
tied by the robbers and pushed under the bed.
It was learnt that the suspects Peter Anigboro (25
years old), Lucky Williams (22) and Olise Friday, forced the door of the
residence of the victim open with an impoverished gun and a
dagger.
The suspects immediately went for the husband, whom
they tied his legs and hands after which he was pushed under the
bed.
After taking care of the husband, they went for the
wife whom it learnt was their original target. It was gathered that the robbers
have been monitoring her movement for some days before they
struck.
It was learnt that they requested her to declare the
money she sold that day from her recharge card which she quickly
obliged.
The robbers further requested for recharge cards, hand
sets and other valuables. While they were threatening, the victim pleaded that
they should not kill her. But to her greatest shock, they pounced on her and
started undressing her warning that she will be killed if she tried to resist
them.
The leader of the gang, Peter Anikoro was the first to
rape her and while he was doing that, his mask pulled off and that was when the
victim saw the face of her attacker.
Peter is a neighour who resides in the opposite
building. However, after taking his turn, others followed
suit.
As if the suspects were destined to meet their waterloo
that same day, they attacked another house around that same Ogida quarters where
they met a 60 year-old woman and attempted to rape her too. The woman pleaded
with them, and though she was not raped, they fiddled with her private part and
carted away hand sets and cash from the house.
Luck ran out with the rampaging robbers when Peter took
other members of the gang to his uncle’s house at Siluko road to rob.
Unfortunately for them, they could not gain access to the house due to the
protector.
But through the window, they were able to cart away a
hand set. But some body spotted them and raised an alarm which attracted the
attention of members of the vigilante group in the area. They gave the robbers a
hot chase and with the arrival of policemen on patrol, they were
apprehended.
