Arionla, a 300 level student who alleged that she was raped by a man, later identified as the cousin of former Director–
General of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), President, Ndi Okereke-Onyuike.
The suspect, Prince Daniel Okereke, 37, was alleged to have lured her into his home at Mende, Maryland, Lagos, subdued her with the aid of his security guard before he pounced on her and raped her severally.
"When we got to his house, I told him that I was not interested in having sex with him, he called two of his security guards to help him to tie me up and seal my mouth. He then brought out
his belt and started flogging me,"
Saturday Sun learnt that after the several rape sessions which lasted for more than 30 minutes, Prince Daniel ordered Arionla to
pick her bags and get out of the house.
Abused and bitter, Arionla was said to have started destroying the property in his house and also flinging same out of the
compound. In the process, the car that belonged to one of the neighbours was destroyed.
Not aware of what could have led to the fracas, the angry neighbour alerted the police attached to Area F, Ikeja who arrested Arionla and accused her of assault. On listening to both sides and overwhelming bruises on Arionla's body, a case of attempted rape was established and Prince Daniel was arrested and later released on bail while Arinola was rushed to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja for examination and treatment.
Still recovering from the scars that had disfigured her beautiful body, Arinola, 6ft tall, and who can be best described as a
model, claimed that she saw Prince Daniel as a harmless elder brother who cared about her ailing health.
According to Arinola, 22, and a student of University of Lagos, Akoka, she met Prince Daniel through an online dating site, early last month.
"We became friends online and I gave him my number. He kept calling requesting to see me in school and I kept giving him one excuse or the other. He actually said that he wanted me to be his friend and I declined that I am a student and should be allowed
to face my studies.
"On November 6, 2014, he called me that he was in my school compound. I was sick and told him that I was about to head to the pharmacy to get drugs.
He volunteered to drive me to the pharmacy. I was impressed and grateful for such a kind gesture. After buying the drugs, we drove to the fast food and bought food. He asked me to join him to a seat out joint where I can relax and eat the food. I was surprised when he drove straight to his house at Mende, Maryland."
He said that I will be the one to the bear the shame since the world will ask what I was doing in his house when I was supposed to be in school,"
Arinola narrated.
When it dawned on her that the prince is a beast in sheep's clothing, Arionla stopped truggling and parted her legs for the Prince.
"He raped me severally till he was satisfied. He later removed the ropes and ordered me to get out of his house. I was in pains and knew that since the law will finally release him because of his status, I needed to destroy anything within reach. It was
the neighbours whose car was
destroyed that alerted the police at Area F, Ikeja.
"I wrote my statement and went to the hospital for examination. I was not surprised when I was told that he was granted bail the same day. My family had to report the matter to Panti and
he was re-arrested."
Still dressed in his royal white dress as at press time, Prince Daniel, a businessman, who is also related to Nigerian actress,
Stephanie Okereke, blamed the devil for the act.
"I am so ashamed of myself. We are family of professionals whom you know very well. I don't know what got into my head. I am sorry and plead for
forgiveness," Daniel, who said he was single and still searching, pleaded. When asked why she
destroyed the property in his house, Prince Daniel said:
"She thought I was going to force her to have sex with me. She started destroying everything which is so
expensive," he said specifically
referring to his Chandelier lighting hanging in his living room.
When further asked if he eventually slept with her, Prince Daniel said "Yes, I did. I am very sorry, I need a way out."
Confirming the story as at press time , Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu said that the suspect would be charged to court for rape and assault.
He will be arraigned along side with one of the security men who assisted the suspected to subdue Tope.
Meanwhile, the police is still on the trail of one of the security guards who also participated in assisting the man to tie her up."
