A thirty-years-old
woman has been allegedly r.a.p.e.d while searching for a shop to rent in Ogun
State.
The victim was reportedly r.a.p.e.d by a 42-year-old man, John Daniel, who offered to help her get a container to use as a shop.
The Police

her business around 6pm when she met the suspect, who told her that he had a
container kept in his care by someone, which she could use as a shop.
“The suspect
there and then asked her to follow him to where the container was and on

driver and a bottle with which he threatened her. She stated further that she
