The two suspects reportedly disguised as soldiers in a bid to bundle the innocent girl away.
The Lagos State Police Command have arrested two suspects, Damilola Balogun and his accomplice, Joseph Agbo, for raping a 15-year-old girl at the Oworonsoki area of Lagos.
According to Punch News, the victim, simply identified as Funke, was reportedly on an errand when she fell into the hands of the criminals.
She was ambushed by the suspects who wore a military fatigue, and then taken away on a motorcycle to a secluded place in Bariga.
After they finished with her, Funke was reportedly dumped by the road side, where she was found by community members who reported the case to the police.
