Overview

• Morenikeji Adewole is accused of raping a 19-year-old woman in his car after her night at Heaven nightclub on November 1, 2024.
• Prosecutors introduced CCTV showing the complainant stumbling in a secluded tunnel and argued her level of intoxication made proper consent impossible.
• Jurors heard on May 27 that Adewole held a five-year tourist visa barring employment and periodically returned to Nigeria when his six-month permits expired.
• The defendant admitted to using a counterfeit Security Industry Authority card and a forged residence permit under the name Olusola Julius Alabi to secure his security role.
• Adewole denies rape, claiming any sexual contact was non-penetrative and ceased immediately upon learning the complainant’s true age; the trial is ongoing.
