This is like a movie script difficult to believe, but anyways it is true. Three Zimbabwean ladies Rosemary Chakwizira, 24, Sophie Nhokwara, 26, and Netsai Nhokwara, 24 are currently in police custody for allegedly kidnapping, raping and collecting semen of men at gun point.
They are always present at bars and fun places to source for their prey, who are mainly men without means of transportation. They offer the unsuspecting men lift, but then drug and drive them to secluded spots to complete their operation.
Midlands police chief Senior Assistant Commissioner Charles Makono said the women came under suspicion after asking officers if they could retrieve the bag of condoms from their car, which had just been involved in an accident.
33 used condoms containing semen was found in the bag.
A police investigator also said: “So far, the three have denied raping men and have said they are prostitutes who find themselves so busy with clients that they do not have time to dispose the used condoms. They said they intended to throw away the condoms.”
Finding shows that semen was “selling like hot cakes” in neighbouring South Africa where a condom full could fetch as much as US$400.....
Business Unusual!

Accused Rapist Propose To Marry the Victim!
By: Online Publisher's
Still trying to Cool off from the babrbaric Abia rape case ABSU RAPE SAGA I was angered by this latest news that was just forwarded to me...
As if it was not criminal enough to rape an innocent female, a 23-year old man, Samuel Godwin Effiong, who is facing a rape charge at Oshodi magistrate’s court, has made a shocking proposal to the 27-year old rape victim (name withheld) at the court by offering to marry her to compensate her.
Effiong made the offer in the open court to the victim by proposing to marry her before the presiding magistrate, Mrs. Osho Adebiyi.
Effiong told the court, in the presence of the victim, that he was ready to marry the victim and take care of the baby if she was pregnant as a result of the rape.
He said the proposal will facilitate the final settlement of the rape charge against him.
Effiong was charged to court for allegedly raping the 27-year old woman under false pretence.
He was alleged to have worn his brother’s military uniform and arrested the victim at Ikeja area.
Instead of taking her to the barracks as he claimed while arresting her, he took her on a motorcycle to a hidden place at Mafoluku Oshodi where he raped her.
He was however unlucky when someone who suspected their movement raised an alarm that attracted other neighbours and the police.
Effiong was eventually arrested and charged to court.
He pleaded not guilty.
The court granted him bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum.
When the matter came up, he made the offer so that he would regain his freedom.
Lawyers who spoke to P.M.NEWS this morning said despite offering to marry the victim, the accused will have to face trial to enable the law take its course.
The former Secretary-General of Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Lagos branch, Mr. Ike Ukor, said “No, the law will still have to take its course, unless the woman agrees to marry and drop the charge.”
In his reaction, Festus Keyamo, legal practitioner, said: “the accused marriage proposal does not legalise the crime, though it all depends on the woman because once the woman drops the charge and says ‘I am no longer pursuing the case’ that will be the end of the case, as the prosecution needs the evidence of the woman to convict the man.”
Another lawyer, Mr. Paul Ogundele said as the issue is, the legal implication is that since the accused in the rape matter agrees to marry the victim, there is the likelihood of the case being frustrated, especially when the victim consents to the marriage since she is the sole witness in the case. They will be expected to give overwhelming evidence for the prosecution of the case.
Another Lagos lawyer, Mr. Tahiru Najim while also aligning himself with the opinion of other lawyers, said the man cannot be exonerated.
“He is still liable in strict legal terms because it is the relationship that existed at the time the offence was committed that counts.”
Mr. Alex Uzebu, another Lagos-based legal practitioner, said the offence had already been committed.
“It has no bearing at all with the marriage proposal. Just like a man who steals another man’s car and decided to return it after he was caught or offers to buy the car, the person is liable.”
Orionye from the law firm of Ade Oyebanji & Co. opined that the man cannot be exonerated from the charge of rape unless the woman decides to drop the charge against him.
“If she drops the charge, then the man can escape and if not, when the case is proved, the man will be liable.”

KANO — TWO weeks after the uproar over the reported gang-raping of a student of Abia State University by five hoodlums, the police in Kano State, yesterday, paraded two of the four men who allegedly gang-raped a youth corps member.
One of the suspects has confessed to having allegedly taken part in ‘’gang-raping’’ the youth corps member with two others now at large.
The suspects who identified themselves as Abba Garba, 18, Abubakar Suleiman, 17, Nazeephy Malam, and Ali Wara said yesterday they raped the youth corps member serving at Durumi Secondary School, Kurna in Kano municipality.
Garba, who reportedly led three others to rape the lady, told Vanguard at the Kano State Police Headquarters, that the incident occurred penultimate week in a classroom in the college at noon when the victim who was unaware of the strike by civil servants in the state reported for duties.
Garba said they were in the building because of the torrential rain on the fateful day when the lady in her 20s who spoke her native language which they did not understand, suddenly approached them to enquire why there were no activities in the school.
Suspect confesses
The suspect, who claimed to be a battery charger in the area, further told Vanguard that: ‘’I relocated to the premises of the college with my friends when it started raining on that fateful day. While we were having fun, a lady suddenly approached us and was speaking a language none of us understood.
The suspect, who claimed to be a battery charger in the area, further told Vanguard that: ‘’I relocated to the premises of the college with my friends when it started raining on that fateful day. While we were having fun, a lady suddenly approached us and was speaking a language none of us understood.
‘’I was moved by her beauty, and immediately drew out a sharp knife and in concert with others commandeered her into one of the classrooms, where we forced her to undress and gang-raped her in turns before policemen on patrol apprehended two of us while two escaped.’’
The second suspect, Abubakar, said: ‘’I never violated the lady in question, but was roped in by my friend, Abba Garba, who lured me to the school premises, where the ugly incident happened.’’
The state Police Commissioner, Ibrahim Idris, declined to disclose the identity of the victim ‘’to avoid stigmatisation,’’ pointing out that two other suspects were also apprehended by the police in connection with raping minors in the city.
Meanwhile, the Abia State Police Command has also confirmed that it arrested two members of the gang that raped the university student in the state, few days after the state government described the incident as fiction.
