Two in court over alleged rape

Two men, Muyideen Jubril and Lanre Sofela, who allegedly raped a teenager, Monday, appeared before an Abeokuta Magistrate's Court sitting at Isabo, Ogun State.
The police charged Jubril and Sofela, aged 23 and 22 respectively, with raping a 17-year-old.
The prosecutor, Inspector Sunday Eigbejiale, told the court that the accused committed the offence on November 8 at Ago Oko in Abeokuta.
He said: "They convinced the girl that they will take her home on their bike. On their way, they blindfolded her with a piece of cloth and raped her."
The court did not take the pleas of the accused because they did not have legal counsel.
The Magistrate, Mr Matins Akinyemi, however, granted them bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties each and adjourned the case to February 13, 2014.
