Northampton Crown Court in the United Kingdom, UK, has found two Nigerians, Tosin Dada and Solomon Adebiyi, guilty of multiple rape charges.
Northamptonshire Police confirmed this in a statement posted on its official Facebook page on Monday.
This comes weeks after a Nigerian pilot, Olukayode Ojo, was convicted in a Texas court in the United States of making false statements to get a Federal Aviation Administration certificate.
According to Northamptonshire Police, Dada and Adebiyi were charged with three charges of rape in connection with a March 2022 incident.
It was gathered that the convicts had claimed they engaged in consensual sex with a 17-year-old girl, a claim the jury has now ruled against, finding them guilty.
After finding the couple guilty of the offences, the judge ordered their remand for sentencing, which is set for October 25, 2024, at the same court.
The statement read, “Tosin Dada, 34, previously of Knox Road, Wellingborough, and Solomon Adebiyi, 39, previously of Stanley Street, Northampton, were both charged with three counts of rape each in connection with the offence on March 12, 2022.
“Their nine-day trial at Northampton Crown Court ended last week with both men being found unanimously guilty by the jury on all charges after eight hours of deliberation.
“Both men were remanded into custody ahead of sentencing at Northampton Crown Court on October 25, 2024.”
