UK Court Finds Two Nigerians Guilty Of Rape
Two Nigerians, Tosin Dada and Solomon Adebiyi, have been found guilty of multiple rape charges by a Northampton Crown Court in the United Kingdom.
Northamptonshire Police disclosed this in a statement on its official Facebook page on Monday.
Before their conviction, Northamptonshire Police stated that Dada and Adebiyi had each been charged with three counts of rape connected to a March 2022 incident.
According to the statement on Facebook, the duo also learnt 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 duo guilty of the crimes, the court ordered their remand pending sentencing, scheduled 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.

Another Nigerian Conviction
