Nigerian Rapes Briton In Dubai

Dubai Criminal Court has been told a 30-year-old Nigerian salesman, identified as IS, raped a British teacher after forcibly entering her flat. According to prosecutors, on January 1, 32-yearold teacher, identified as JL, returned to her home in Silicon Oasis around 2a.m. “After I entered the lift, a man got in behind me. Then he asked me which floor I was staying.

When the lift reached the 25th floor, I got out and the man followed me out. When I reached my flat and felt him behind me, I asked him why he was following me. He said he wanted to be sure that I got into my flat safely. I told him I did not need his help and asked him to stop accompanying me,” the woman told the court.

The woman then opened the door of her flat. When she got in, IS pushed himself into the flat and pushed the woman onto a bed, according to Emirates News. “I tried to run out of the flat but he pulled me back onto the bed. He held my two hands and sat on me.

I resisted him while he was undressing me but I could not as he was stronger than me. Gradually, I lost all my energy and so he could rape me,” the victim told investigators. When he finished, the victim grabbed the opportunity and rushed to the bathroom. The rapist rushed behind her and prevented her from closing the door.

She then thought that he may lock her in, so she inserted her fingers between the door and its frame. “When he left the flat, I put on my clothes, went to my friend, and reported the incident to the police,” said the victim. Forensic reported that the woman was subject to rape, there were some bruises on her body and sperms in and on her body.

DNA test and fingerprints helped identifying IS as the teacher’s rapist. The teacher recognised her rapist when he was shown to her via identification parade. In addition to rape, the salesman was accused of entering a house against its resident’s will and assault. The court will reconvene on April 12.
