An Investigating Police Officer, Inspector Elizabeth Osikolu, on Monday, told an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court how a housewife, Omolara Alashe, allegedly forced a 19-year-old lady to sleep with her husband, to bear a child.
Omolara and her husband, Ramoni Lateef, are facing a three-count charge of conspiracy, rape and sexual assault.
The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty.
The witness, while being led in evidence by the State Lead Counsel, Babajide Boye, told the court that the alleged incident happened sometime in 2022, in Lagos.
Osikolu told the court that the mother of the victim died while they were living at Ojota and the couple offered to accommodate her.
She told the court that the victim said the couple also allegedly abused her physically whenever she made mistakes while living with them.
