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.”
