Northampton Crown Court has delivered a guilty verdict against Tosin Dada and Solomon Adebiyi, two Nigerian men accused of multiple rape charges.
Daily Report Nigeria reports that this announcement was made by Northamptonshire Police on their official Facebook page on Monday.
The conviction comes weeks after a Nigerian pilot, Olukayode Ojo, was found guilty in a Texas court for making false statements to obtain a certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration.
According to Northamptonshire Police, Dada and Adebiyi were each charged with three counts of rape related to an incident in March 2022.
