They also claimed they recorded the act mistakenly. But the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, who paraded the suspects yesterday at the Command Headquarters, said the men were fond of gang raping young girls and recording the girls in the act and uploading it to embarrass the victims.
Owoseni said when the matter was reported at Ipaja Ayobo PoliceDivision, the policemenswung into action and arrested the culprits.
According to him, the suspects also confessed to the crime during interrogation. Owolabi said he and Lanre met Akpan making love to the girl. He said: "I went to work that fateful day. When I came back, I went to Samuel's house only to see him making love to the girl.
"When I entered my friend's room, he just finished making love to her. I persuaded the girl to allow me sleep with her and she accepted.
I made love to her too. While I was doing it with the girl, Michael (Lanre) walked in and brought out his phone and claimed he was using the torch on the phone to look for something in the room, but he was filming me as I was making love to the girl."
Owolabi said they were arrested when the landlord of Akpan's house, who heard the scream of the girl, went to report the matter at the policestation.
"We were arrested in the act," he added. Lanre explained that he also had sex with the girl, but he did not know the girl before then.
He said: "Owolabi and I walked into Samuel's apartment when we met both of them making love. We persuaded the girl to allow us to make love to her too which she consented to. We went only one round each.
When I brought my phone out, I only wanted to use the torch, I never thought of filming them in the act. It was a mistake.
I did not upload the video on the internet."
Akpan told our correspondent that he did not know his friends would come when he was making love to the girl. He said: "I am a bus conductor. It was some boys in my compound who I used to send on errands who saw the girl and introduced her to me.
We became friends thereafter. "The following day, she came to visit me. We were both inside my room and I persuaded her to allow me to make love to her which she accepted.
My friends walked in and met us in the act. The room was dark, one of them wanted to use the torch on his phone.
He did not know that the camera of the phone was recording what we were doing. It was when we got to the policestation they discovered the video on his phone. "I am not happy to find myself in this situation. I don't know what to tell my parents back home in Akwa Ibom State if they see me in this condition."
According to what he said, the middle-aged man had taken the lady he met along a road in the town, to a hotel to have s*xwith her in the hotel but he met the shock of his life when the woman allegedly turned into a mammoth reptile.
Read story here:
"The incident took place on Friday when the man took the lady to a three Star hotel in Eket metropolis (name of hotel withheld). The man checked in with the light complexion woman apparently in her mid-thirties to have a nice time but it turned out to be his worse nightmare.
Upon arriving the hotel, the pair sat at the bush bar and ordered for fresh fish pepper soup. According to the man, the lady opted for just drinks as she told him that she doesn't eat sea foods. Instead, she opted for a bottle of red wine.
After having few bottles of drinks, the couple retired to their room. While in there, the man said he observed that she took so much time in the rest room which warranted him to knock on the door frequently, but she kept answering that she will soon be through.
According to the man, when she finally came out, she told him not to touch her head while they made love, telling him that she had a severe headache and suggested that the red wine may have caused it.
The man said that when they started having s*x, the lady started wriggling her body on the bed like a snake but he admitted that he didn't give serious thought to it 'as he was enjoying the action.'
The man who is in his mid-forties, said as soon as he had his orgasm and got up from her body, he noticed that her entire body was fast changing to a snake. He said he was overwhelmed by fear and jumped out of the room naked and raised an alarm which attracted both the hotel managers and others patrons to rush to his room.
When the management of the hotel made their way into the room, the lady was still half snake and half human, wriggling on the bed, but the hotel manager quickly rushed out to inform the police."
"They fastened the lock on the door of the room and instructed every one to keep off. Upon return, the lady had disappeared. The management handed over the man who brought the lady to their facility to the policefrom the Ukwa PoliceDivision."
Strange things do happen, you will agree.
