Two Nigerians, Tosin Dada and Solomon Adebiyi, have been found guilty of multiple rape charges.
The pair were arraigned at the Northampton Crown Court in the United Kingdom, according to a statement by Northamptonshire Police on Facebook.
“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,” police said in the statement.
Dada and Adebiyi had each been charged with three counts of rape connected to a March 2022 incident in which they had sex with a 17-year-old girl. They claimed it was consensual.
However, the jury found them guilty and they have been remanded pending their sentencing on October 25, 2024.
