The Lagos State Police Command has arraigned one Ajayi Femi, a 60-year-old man, before a court over the rape of a 24-year-old woman after allegedly spiking her drink.
According to police authorities, the case was first reported by the survivor’s sister at Meiran Police Station on August 22, 2025, before being transferred to the Command’s Gender Unit for further investigation.
Investigations, including medical examinations, revealed that the suspect had laced the victim’s drink, rendering her unconscious before engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse without her consent. The suspect has reportedly confessed to the crime.
He has since been charged to court and remanded in prison custody, pending the next adjourned date set by the court.
Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to securing justice for survivors of sexual offences. He encouraged residents to promptly report all cases of sexual violence at the Family Support Units across divisions and area commands for swift intervention.
The Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the development in a statement issued on Monday, September 1, 2025.
