A TRADER, Roy Anozie, on Monday appeared before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court for allegedly raping a 20-year-old woman.
Magistrate B. O. Osunsanmi granted him N300,000 bail, with two sureties in the like sum. The sureties, she said, must show evidence of two years tax payment.
Osunsanmi did not take Anozie’s plea to the one-count charge before granting him bail.

She directed the police to duplicate the case file and send to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.
Prosecuting Assistant Superintendent of police (ASP) Ezekiel Ayorinde said Anozie, 25, lives in Alagbado, Lagos.
He alleged that the defendant raped the woman on June 30 at his home.
The court heard that Anozie injured the complainant’s genitals.
“The complainant bled and reported at a police station. The defendant was then arrested,’’ Ayorinde said.
The case continues on September 25. [THE NATION]
