Four students of the University of Lagos were on Tuesday charged
before an Ebute Meta Magistrates’ Court in Lagos for allegedly gang
raping a 17-year-old girl.
The accused – Jeremiah Bamigbayan, 18; Lanre Olayemi, 19; Abisoye
Atoyegbe, 18; and Nelson Onyeoziri, 18 – are facing a three-count charge

They pleaded not guilty to the charges.
But the prosecutor, ASP Innocent Effiong, said the accused, all of
the Business Administration Department, allegedly committed the offence

Magistrate Adesola Ikpatt granted the accused bail in the sum of N100, 000 each, with two sureties each in like sum.
She adjourned the case to April 30 for mention. (Vanguard News)
