It was a day of reckoning on Wednesday for two men who posed as ladies on Facebook lured unsuspecting two female victims to an apartment in Cross Rivers State and raped them.
The young men also recorded the act at 1, Atekong, Calabar, the state capital and then demanded the sum of N30, 000 or they will release the video clip on the internet.
A Facebook user, Esame Nkim, who shared the photos of the suspects, wrote: “This is happening live in my place of work. The boys used female names and pictures to make friends with some girls on Facebook.
“The innocent girls were invited to meet with the supposed friend and when the girls got to the address at no. 1 Atekong in Calabar, the boys handed their phone to a girl to go bring in the girls. As soon as the girls entered the house the girl who ushered them in disappeared.
“The two girls were raped by five boys, videotaping their acts and later asked the girls to pay them 30k or the video will be uploaded to the net. They showed the girls clips from their escapades with other girls and how much they paid. As the girls went out in search of the money, they decided to report the case to law enforcement agents and the boys were picked up.
“Beware of who you add as friends,” Nkim added.
DAILY POST contacted the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Ms. Irene Ugbo, who confirmed the incident, saying the victims reported the matter to police who arrested the suspects.
While disclosing that the police got the video recording as exhibit, Ugbo said the suspects will be prosecuted.
