Two Nigerians Bag 21yrs Jail Term For Drugging, Raping Teenage Schoolgirl In UK

Two Nigerian nationals, Akinsanya and Raji, have been sentenced to a combined 21 years in prison by a UK court. The judgment was delivered at Inner London Crown Court following a serious criminal case involving a teenage girl.

The incident reportedly began when the men met the victim and her friends at a pub in London. They allegedly offered drinks before inviting the group to a private apartment, where the situation later escalated.

According to court proceedings, the teenager became unwell after consuming substances and was unable to fully respond. Her friends had earlier expressed discomfort and attempted to leave with her before the situation worsened.

Prosecutors told the court that the victim suffered severe emotional and psychological impact after the incident. In her statement, she explained that the experience affected her school life and her ability to trust others.

The court found both men guilty after reviewing the evidence presented. One was sentenced to 10 years, while the other received 11 years for multiple offences, including recording inappropriate material involving a minor.

During sentencing, the judge emphasised the seriousness of the crime and its lasting effect on the victim. The ruling reflects the UK justice system’s stance on protecting minors and ensuring accountability for such offences.
