Boy and 7 of his friends gang rapes his ex because she broke up with him.

The police has arrested one Stephen Obi for allegedly conspiring with seven other men to gang-rape his estranged lover, a 28-year old woman (name withheld) in Lagos State, southwest Nigeria.

According to the lady, she decided to end their relationship because Obi said he wasn't ready to marry her as she was 5 years older than him and this didn't go down well with Obi who wanted the relationship to continue. He therefore, organized seven of his friends to gang-rape.

On the day the lady was allegedly gang-raped, Obi reportedly invited her to Baba Olopa Street, Adexson, in Igando to settle their differences. She obliged him and went. She said when she entered his room, seven of his friends came in and they locked the room and started beating her and asked her to strip. Obi then brought out condoms and gave them to the seven men who started raping her in turns.

She told her father about the ugly incident when she got home and they went to Igando Police Division and reported the matter and Obi was arrested and charged to court. But the other seven men escaped before they could be arrested.

Obi has been charged with conspiracy and rape before Ejigbo magistrate court, while seven of his accomplice are still on the run.

When the matter came up on Wednesday, he pleaded not guilty to the two-count charge.

The presiding Magistrate, Mr M.B. Folami said after going through the doctor's report that Obi should be remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri adjourned the case to 23 September, 2013.
