NIGERIAN POLICE ARREST NOTORIOUS GANG MEMBER WHO RAPED AND SPREAD HIV TO MANY WOMEN

Nigerian police arrested a gang member known as Fatai who has is accused of raping women and and spreading HIV in Lagos.

His brother, who is also believed to be a member of the gang, is still at large.

Police believe he is out in the public continuing to rape young women in Bariga.

One victim of the notorious rapist gang, who spoke to a SaharaTV crew in an interview, said she contracted the much feared virus from the rape experience.

She said she went for a sexually transmitted disease test after her experience, and was horrified by the results which found that she had contracted HIV.

She said that in January, a five-man gang threatened her with a gun at about 5.30am, as she set out to go to work. 

The gang took her into the premises of a house on Odunsi Street, where she was raped. 

At about the same time, she said there was another female victim also being raped, and a male victim who was robbed at gun point.

She also said her telephone and money were also seized by the gang and that she saw her phone being used by them two days after the incident.

At first, she said, she decided not to make any trouble with the gang, or make any pronouncements about the incident. Yet, after the results of the test, she did. 

She then decided to raise alarm about the incident, and identify the gang responsible. The victim also said she believes that there are many other victims, who like her, may have decided to keep quiet to avoid shame.
