A real estate agent, Mathew Adedoyin, who was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS for allegedly holding an American hostage and repeatedly raping her, has denied abducting the victim or raping her.
The suspect speaking to journalists while being paraded, Adedoyin, who claimed to be a real estate agent, said that she asked him for sex, adding that the decision to come down to Nigeria was hers, with the intention of getting married to him.
Adedoyin admitted that on her arrival in Lagos, he lodged her at Turn Up Hotel, but had to move her to his friend’s house pending when he would raise money for her return ticket to the US.
He also denied seizing the victim’s passport, saying that he only helped her to keep it safe after he realised that she was carefree with her bag containing her travel and other documents anytime they went out.
His accomplice, Ayeni, said he was uncomfortable when Adedoyin brought the victim to his house and had no concrete plans on when they intended to leave.
