A 32 year- old Nigerian is in the grip of the police for allegedly kidnapping and raping a 21 year old woman at Ashaley Botwe, near Accra under the pretext of giving her an Eid-ul Fitr present.
Five other Nigerians alleged to have also assaulted the woman have also been arrested by the police.
The main suspect, Steven Johnson Chimaroke, was said to have met the woman on Facebook and invited her over to his house at Ashaley Botwe, near Accra where the alleged incident occurred.
All the six suspects have been charged with kidnapping and conspiracy to commit crime
Chimaroke and his five alleged accomplices were said to have initially resisted arrest and made an attempt to bolt leading to the police firing warning shots.
Facebook buddies
Briefing the Daily Graphic, the Accra Regional Police Commander of Operations, Chief Superintendent Kwesi Ofori, said Chimaroke and the young woman were friends on Facebook and had been interacting regularly.
According to him, Chimaroke convinced the lady to come to his house, which was a four-bedroom house where he lived with the five accomplices, for an Eid-ul <\a>Fitr present.
The woman, he said, then left her residence at Nungua Zongo to Chimaroke’s house for the said present.
When she got to the house, Chief Superintendent Ofori, said Chimaroke, instead of giving her the present asked her to sleep with him, but the woman refused.
“Chimaroke made advances and when she resisted, he smashed her phone and raped her. Fortunately for her, she had another phone on her, which she used to call her brothers, who later called the police to go and rescue her,’’ he said.
He explained that the victim got to the house around 10am but she managed to call her brothers at about 2pm.
During the period, Chief Superintendent Ofori, revealed that Chimaroke raped the woman repeatedly, while the five alleged accomplices mocked and assaulted her
The brothers, he said, called the police and the Alpha Swat Team of the Accra Regional Police Command and the Lake Side Police Command invaded the house to rescue the victim.
He added that the police found a bowl of gari missed with sugar and water which the victim was given as her meal for the day by her kidnappers
Its just a blackmail frm d lady
I don’t trust the issue of kidnapping, a poor lady who would have invited a Christian guy to her place for Ei d fitr could travel to the christian guy for a gift and now claiming rape in the guys home, ghana police are becoming corrupt and quick to jail Nigerians
dont mind Ghana police for calling this incident kidnapping, is she is been kidnapped how much did they ask from the parents of the girl? Ghana police should be wise enough to publish comments.
There is no truth in her allegation let their police be sincere in that case
I see no kidnapping issue here because according to the statement it was only her Bf that made love to her not all of them which mean is not a kidnapping case otherwise all culprit will have their own share furthermore smarshing one phone and leave the other may mean something different from what we may be thinking because he may have seen some messages that provoke his anger since both of them are officially dating and trust me the girl has been going there on regular basis that made her call her brother and give the exact location of where she was anyway forcing a woman against there wish is not acceptable but don’t use the sin of one man to paint all Nigerian black because if God can touch the heart of all president in the world to deport all Nigeria back to their country I swear no nation can be compared to great naija because we are creative and industrious . Send the culprit to jail so that next time he will learn to respect ladies but don’t paint all naija black because we still remain the best people who understand who to treat and take very good care of a woman.
Sumtimes I don’t understand sum Nigerian’s in Ghana,r u in Ghana to make a living or to follow small small girls on social media… Y do u found trouble wer der is no trouble from kidnapping to rape….only God knows what will b nxt …if u want woman don’t u know wer to get sum nw bcoz of sum of u..carelessness police will start harassing innocent ones who r making dier living y …….oh no…advice ur selves..
Am so disappointed in all these Nigerians posting discriminative comments here. Why will Ghanaians paint Nigerians black ? What do they stand to gain? Even if the lady was his wife he has no right to force her to sleep with him. If she has ever taken Money from him before does that warrant rape? A lot of Nigerians here in Ghana do not have jobs and do not even want to work except involve themselves in fraudulent activities.
Just tonight, my family had to save the life of a 24 year old Nigerian boy who was deceived into coming to Ghana by his friends who promised him a better life. He got here and realized he had to be involved in internet fraud. When he decided not to be involved, his friends tried to kill him and the shouts alerted my family since we lived close. The police had to be involved to save his life.
We are fed up of their disgusting lifestyle and the rate to which they are destroying the name of Ghana through fraud.
Stupid idiots in crime alliance I’m
the girl in question happens to be his girl friend. i know IKE very well and he cant be involved in kidnapping the only issue here is that they hard sex with the girl and the girl is not under age also. is not kidnapping case at all. but police will add it up because they are Nigerians.
This issue with the actual story tells that the girl is a prostitute and ike carried her home but the money given to her (20 cedis)was not upto their initial agreement..this is the truth and because she is a ghanian.they are just taking advantage of the whole matter as the involved are all nigerians.
this is not kidnapping cause because they did ask the girl for any money to pay
Ghanaian are wicked
U carry your pussy go give man for his hause… Now u are talking of kidnapping…. Wicked Ghanaian…
Dis are disgrace to Nigerians.and una go brtry una bros abroad na still una go kill,Rape abi na
Swear?
Abeg we nid Deliverance among most Nigerianz.D are bunch of Disappointment to Mankind.
Well God will help us all.
All story na lie, ghanians hate nigerians because we dey burst every where for them eye, how can you call this rape, what ransom did they request for all because they are nigerians fucking ghanian police wan use dem shine, Jah poass una Free them I say for they are not guilty of the charges..
When you forcefully have sex with a lady that is not your wife and without her consent, you have raped her. You can even get her consent and it will still be rape if the consent was procured by fraud. It is not necessary that there must be demand for money (randsom) before the offence of kidnap is committed. There could be kidnap for sex or for money or just for the fun of it or for any other sadistic motive. People kidnap for various reasons.The fact that a victim comes by herself does not mean you cannot kidnap her. The moment she demands to leave and you prevent her, holding her against her will, you have kidnapped her. Pls be guided.
Girls in Nigeria are so ashame to talk about rape that’s giving those thugs the right to rape our girls. When you start giving them 20 to 25yrs jail time. Rape will stop in Nigeria. They think it’s in Nigeria nonsense. Now they will spend some time in Jail for a piece of fuck. Lol. Stupid guys. Invent something better instead of raping.
That’s a big lie, that girl is a prostitute and was short paid, so she informed her guy who happened to be a police man, came up with stupid stories, of kidnapping and rape, so what does the five other guys have in this matter, let the girl continue, thank God we have Ghana people in Nigeria
