Two Nigerians found guilty of rape in UK— Report

Northampton Crown Court in the United Kingdom has found two Nigerians, Tosin Dada and Solomon Adebiyi, guilty of multiple rape charges.

 

Northamptonshire Police disclosed this in a statement on its official Facebook page on Monday.

 

This follows weeks after a Nigerian pilot, Olukayode Ojo, was convicted in a Texas court in the United States for making false statements to obtain a certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration.

 

Before their conviction, Northamptonshire Police stated that Dada and Adebiyi had each been charged with three counts of rape connected to a March 2022 incident.

 

Voice Air Media also learnt that the convicts had claimed they engaged in consensual sex with a 17-year-old girl, a claim the jury has now ruled against, finding them guilty.

 

After finding the duo guilty of the crimes, the court ordered their remand pending sentencing, scheduled for October 25, 2024, at the same court.

 

The statement read, “Tosin Dada, 34, previously of Knox Road, Wellingborough, and Solomon Adebiyi, 39, previously of Stanley Street, Northampton, were both charged with three counts of rape each in connection with the offence on March 12, 2022.

 

“Their nine-day trial at Northampton Crown Court ended last week with both men being found unanimously guilty by the jury on all charges after eight hours of deliberation.

 

“Both men were remanded into custody ahead of sentencing at Northampton Crown Court on October 25, 2024.”
