Suspect admits raping UniAbuja student, stealing her phone, denies drugging her
A 44-year-old man, Javis Patrick, has denied drugging a female University of Abuja [UniAbuja] student before raping her.
The ‘truthful’ Patrick admitted raping his victim and stealing her mobile phone but denied drugging his victim before carrying out the crime.
Patrick was among the 98 suspects arrested by the Federal Capital Territory [FCT] Police Command between January 1 and Thursday. They were paraded by the FCT Commissioner of Police, Bala Ciroma, on Thursday.
Speaking during the parade on Thursday, he said,
“The lady is my friend. She is a student at the University of Abuja. We met on campus when I went to see a friend who is a student.
“She agreed to spend the night with me after we settled for N20,000. The next morning, after sleeping with her, I took her to somewhere in Wuse and pretended I was going to pick something from my car. I escaped with her phone because she left it in the car.”
But the CP said the suspect was notorious for drugging, raping and stealing valuables from his victims.
The police boss said,
“He takes up different personalities to lure his victims; he often poses as a medical doctor or lawyer. The suspect and other members of his gang use dating or hook-up sites on social media to entice their unsuspecting victims.
“So far, 12 of his female victims have made statements on their nasty experience in the hands of the suspect. Efforts is being intensified to arrest other members of his gang who are currently on the run.”
