Lagos: Police confirm arrest of ARM director for alleged rape 

Police in Lagos have confirmed the arrest of ARM director for allegedly raping his employee.

The police stated that the suspect, ARM Pensions’s Executives Director (ED), identified as Abisola Onigbogi, was accused of rape by a female employee in Lagos.

The police through the command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated that the suspect, Onigbogi, is already in police custody and investigations are ongoing following a report of rape by the company’s management who accused him of rape by the female employee after taking her to a hotel after a team-bonding event  instead of her house which was said to be the initial plan in Lagos.

 He said  though  her statement stated that on the evening of the office party, just like every other staff member at the party  had food and drinks.

“I had mixed a small amount of Jameson whiskey and coke. This whiskey bottle was opened by a colleague on the table I was seated with other colleagues.

“However, being part of the planning committee, I had to stand up from my table at intervals to coordinate the serving of food and at such times left my drink, food and other personal effects in the care of another colleague (name withheld) who is a colleague and one I am very friendly with.

“My last memory of the party was at about 7.30/8.00pm where my close friend/colleague claimed that I mentioned to her that I was tipsy and could not drive. So, she offered to find a way for me to go home and then approached Abisola Onigbogi to drop me off since he lived around the same axis. I live in Lekki, then  I was  still with the Jameson whiskey, which was like ¼ of a plastic cup, I had one cocktail from the bar that is the last I remembered,” female employee said.

She added: “I lost total memory of every conversation and activity as my last memory of the night was from 7.30pm.”

“My entire memory was wiped out which was very unusual even for someone who might have drunk excessively, which I didn’t and I have quite a good alcohol tolerance from precedent”

“Next thing I know I woke up and realise I am in a room fully undressed. I look around and I realised it was a hotel.”
