UNILAG undergraduate tells howshe was raped by Ndi Okereke’scousin

There's a fairly known society girl and ex-
model who was raped by some guy from a
prominent Lagos family. When I heard about
the incident and approached her to report the
story and put the guy on blast, she refused.
Begged me not to because she didn't want
the embarrassment and stigma of being a
rape victim. This guy got away with rape.
Ladies, if a man rapes you, you need to speak
out. If he gets away with raping you, he will
find another victim because he'll believe he's
untouchable. Please don't let him get away
with raping you.
Now to this story, a cousin of former DG of
the Nigerian Stock Exchange Ndi Okereke-
Onyuike, Prince Daniel Okereke, 37 (pictured
above), has been arrested for raping a 22
year old UNILAG undergraduate named
Arinola. And she didn't keep quiet. She fought
back by first destroying his property, then she
got him arrested. She tells her story after the
cut. Please read...

"When we got to his house, I told him
that I was not interested in having sex
with him, he called two of his security
guards to help him to tie me up and seal
my mouth. He then brought out his belt
and started flogging me,” says Arionla, a
300 level student who alleged that she
was raped by a man, later identified as
the cousin of former Director–General of
the Nigerian Stock Exchange(NSE),
President, Ndi Okereke-Onyuike.
The suspect, Prince Daniel Okereke, 37,
was alleged to have lured her into his
home at Mende, Maryland, Lagos,
subdued her with the aid of his security
guard before he pounced on her and
raped her severally.
Saturday Sun learnt that after the
several rape sessions which lasted for
more than 30 minutes, Prince Daniel
ordered Arionla to pick her bags and get
out of the house. Abused and bitter,
Arionla was said to have started
destroying the property in his house and
also flinging same out of the compound.
In the process, the car that belonged to
one of the neighbours was destroyed.
Not aware of what could have led to the
fracas, the angry neighbour alerted the
police attached to Area F, Ikeja who
arrested Arionla and accused her of as­
sault. On listening to both sides and
overwhelming bruises on Arionla’s body,
a case of attempted rape was
established and Prince Daniel was
arrested and later released on bail while
Arinola was rushed to the Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja for
examination and treatment.
Saturday Sun further gathered that when
Arinola and her family discovered that
the case was as good as closed by the
police attached to Area F Command,
Ikeja, she reported the matter to the
State Criminal Investigation Department
(SCID), Panti that ordered his re-arrest,
having sighted the original copy of the
lab test which proved that she was
forcefully defiled and the cause of the
wound on her body.
Still recovering from the scars that had
disfigured her beautiful body, Arinola,
6ft tall, and who can be best described
as a model, claimed that she saw Prince
Daniel as a harmless elder brother who
cared about her ailing health.
According to Arinola, 22, and a student
of University of Lagos, Akoka, she met
Prince Daniel through an online dating
site, early last month. “We became
friends online and I gave him my
number. He kept calling requesting to
see me in school and I kept giving him
one excuse or the other. He actually
said that he wanted me to be his friend
and I declined that I am a student and
should be allowed to face my studies.
“On November 6, 2014, he called me
that he was in my school compound. I
was sick and told him that I was about
to head to the pharmacy to get drugs.
He volunteered to drive me to the
pharmacy. I was impressed and grateful
for such a kind gesture. After buying the
drugs, we drove to the fast food and
bought food. He asked me to join him to
a seat out joint where I can relax and
eat the food. I was surprised when he
drove straight to his house at Mende,
Maryland.”
He said that I will be the one to the bear
the shame since the world will ask what
I was doing in his house when I was
supposed to be in school,” Arinola
narrated.
“When it dawned on her that the prince
is a beast in sheep’s clothing, Arionla
stopped struggling and parted her legs
for the Prince. “He raped me severally
till he was satisfied. He later removed
the ropes and ordered me to get out of
his house. I was in pains and knew that
since the law will finally release him
because of his status, I needed to
destroy anything within reach. It was the
neighbours whose car was destroyed
that alerted the police at Area F, Ikeja.
“I wrote my statement and went to the
hospital for examination. I was not sur­
prised when I was told that he was
granted bail the same day. My family
had to report the matter to Panti and he
was re-arrested.”
Still dressed in his royal white dress as
at press time, Prince Daniel, a
businessman, who is also related to
Nigerian actress, Stephanie Okereke,
blamed the devil for the act. “I am so
ashamed of myself. We are family of
professionals whom you know very well.
I don’t know what got into my head. I
am sorry and plead for forgiveness,”
Daniel, who said he was single and still
searching, pleaded.
When asked why she destroyed the prop­
erty in his house, Prince Daniel said:
“She thought I was going to force her to
have sex with me. She started
destroying everything which is so
expensive,” he said specifically referring
to his Chandelier lighting hanging in his
living room.
When further asked if he eventually slept
with her, Prince Daniel said: “Yes, I did.
I am very sorry, I need a way out.”
Confirming the story as at press time ,
Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth
Nwosu said that the suspect would be
charged to court for rape and assault.
According to him, the report got from
Lagos State University Teaching
Hospital, Ikeja, showed that there was
actual penetration in the course of the
squabble. “He will be arraigned along
side with one of the security men who
assisted the suspected to subdue Tope.
Meanwhile, the police is still on the trail
of one of the security guards who also
participated in assisting the man to tie
her up.”
