Two Chinese nationals, Chen Gang and Zhao
Weidong, who allegedly attempted to rape
their 20-year-old cook, were, yesterday,
charged before an Ebute Meta Magistrate’s
Court in Lagos.
Gang, 47, is facing a four-count charge
bordering on attempted rape, sexual
harassment and indecent assault, while
Weidong, 31, is being tried for willful damage
and attempt to pervert justice.
The duo, however, entered a plea of not guilty.
The prosecutor, Inspector Moses Uaedmevbo,
told the court that the Chinese nationals
committed the offences on September 15 at
8a.m. at China Civil Engineering Construction
Corporation, CCECC, Nigeria Railway
Compound, Ebute Meta.
He said Gang harassed the cook sexually and
also attempted to have carnal knowledge of
her.
Uaedmevbo said: “Gang assaulted the woman
by removing her bum shorts forcefully and
touching her without her consent.”
Uaedmevbo alleged that Weidong also
destroyed a Nokia mobile phone belonging to
the woman by throwing it into the toilet.
He said: “The woman shouted for help and the
policemen on duty in the compound came to
rescue her.”
Counsel to the accused, Mr. Fidelis Osordi,
urged the court to grant them bail.
Prosecutor opposed the bail application, saying
that the Chinese nationals may run away.
He said the offences contravened Sections 91,
134, 170, 260, 262 and 348 of the Criminal
Law of Lagos State, 2011.
The Magistrate, Mrs M. Tanimola, granted the
accused bail in the sum of N300,000 each,
with two sureties, each in like sum.

The case should be investigated properly. And if they are found guilty, they should be punished accordingly. There are Nigerians languishing in Chinese prisons over mere allegations of sexual assault. A man, especially a black man could end up doing a long time in a Chinese penitentiary if he was accused of sexually assaulting a Chinese lady. The thing dey pain them because them believe say blacks carry pipe in place of brocos while them carry toothpick in place of brocos. Them go measure the lenght of the accused brocos then plus him age take decide how many years the person go do for slammer
