A 39-year-old man has been arrested by the police for a brazen act of raping his friend’s wife on her matrimonial bed in Surulere, Lagos.
To compound the mystery, the woman’s husband who was sleeping beside her on the same bed did not wake up during the time the intruder gained access into their room and climbed on top of his wife.
The incident happened on Aug. 22, 2022, at about 2:00 a.m.
The suspect, who also lived nearby, allegedly burgled the apartment of the victim and unlawfully penetrated the wife while she was sleeping.
The victim told NAN that she was sleeping beside her husband on the same bed in their apartment when she felt somebody on top of her.
“I was sleeping with my husband on the bed around 2:00 am when I felt somebody was making love to me.
“Initially I thought it was my husband, until when I unintentionally stretched my hand and touched my husband who was deeply asleep beside me.
“I immediately woke up my husband, who switched on the lights and he saw his friend having sex with me.
“It still baffled us how he broke into our apartment without us noticing,” she said.
The woman said that the suspect resorted to begging and blamed his action on drunkenness.
“He claimed that he missed his way to his house because he was under the influence of alcohol,” she added.
The suspect was arrested by police detectives from the Surulere division following a report lodged by the victim and her husband.
When contacted, the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Idowu Adedeji confirmed the incident and said his team was already investigating the crime.
