But Ekene denied the charge, claiming the pair had consensual sex while he was being paraded before newsmen by the state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, at the State Command, in the presence of Miss Precious, who said she was in Lagos for job interview from Enugu having completed her NYSC when she became the suspect’s victim.
According to Imohimi, the incident ensued on May 5, at De-Didos Hotel in Lagos where Precious had gone to meet Ekene who was her Facebook friend at his invitation.
“I just concluded my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme in Enugu State. I came to Lagos for a job interview. Before then, we had been chatting on Facebook and on HITWE. He repeatedly laid emphasis on us meeting and I finally agreed that we should meet. He wanted me to meet him at a hotel, but I said no. Thus, we met at a hotel bar. He ordered for drinks, and while we were drinking, I went to ease myself in the toilet. I suspected that it was when I left that he added something to my drink. I started feeling dizzy after taking the drink.
I found myself in the hotel room at midnight. I was really weak; I couldn’t say anything. I was just looking at him. He made some calls and from the calls, I suspected he was a ‘yahoo yahoo boy.’ He made away with my bags, two of my phones and my voter’s card,” she narrated.
