Predators target teen in Brixton pub

Nigerian nationals Fred Akinsanya, 34, and Daniel Raji, 29, have been handed a combined 21-year prison sentence for raping a 15-year-old girl. The pair plied the schoolgirl with alcohol and drugs at Paddy’s Yard, an Irish pub in south London’s Brixton, on February 8 last year.

Victim lured back to flat for drug-fuelled attack

After buying her drinks, Akinsanya and Raji invited the girl and her friends to Raji’s flat to smoke cannabis and dance. Her friends soon felt uneasy and urged her to leave. But the victim began blacking out and then collapsed, the Inner London Crown Court heard.
