LASU-Gate The Special Offences Court, Ikeja, Lagos, on Tuesday sentenced an undergraduate student of the Lagos State University (LASU), Afeez Ogunbowale, for raping two of his colleagues and armed robbery. Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo convicted Ogunbowale on a five-count charge of conspiracy, rape, and armed robbery. She said the prosecution had proven its case against the convict beyond a reasonable doubt. She said the testimonies of the victims were compelling, adding that they were able to positively identify Ogunbowale as one of the culprits. The judge said: “The defendant is hereby sentenced to five years’ imprisonment for conspiracy, 21 years’ imprisonment each for counts of armed robbery and 21 years’ imprisonment each for counts of rape. “The sentences are to run concurrently.” The prosecution team led by O.A Bajulaiye-Bishi, had earlier told the court that the defendant committed the offences alongside others who are at large, on April 18, 2018, at the Okokomaiko area of Lagos.
