Three
Nigerian born brothers have been accused of abducting a 15-year-old
girl at gunpoint and sexually assaulting her.
The brothers Aziz Animashaun, 22 (left), Isiaka Animashaun, 25 (centre), and Taiwo Animashaun,
26 (right) were among a total of five to six attackers who took the
girl to a home and sexually assaulted her on 21st December 2012.
Chicago Tribune
reports that the girl was taking care of her brother and throwing out
the trash when an SUV with five to six men inside drove up.
Prosecutors say Aziz
Animashaun, 22, jumped out of a black SUV at 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 21 and
told the girl, who was taking out the trash, to get in the vehicle.
When
the girl refused, Animashaun allegedly knocked her unconscious by
striking her with a handgun and then carried her to the SUV.
While searching the home where she was
raped, the police found a used condom and a shiny, antique handgun that
matched the description of the one Animashaun is accused of using.
DNA
results from the condom were traced to one of the brothers,
Taiwo Animashaun. Also, the 15 year-old girl identified Aziz Animashaun
and Isiaka Animashaun as two of her attackers.
According to DNA Info,
the girl heard the men speaking a language other than English while she
was being forced to have sex with them.
Based on her experience with a
teacher who speaks a language spoken in Nigeria, she was able to
identify that the men who attacked her spoke a similar language.
The victim managed
to escape once the men were no longer in the room, Hamelly said. She ran
from the location and and noticed the black SUV in a driveway, Hamelly
said. Cops said that the victim made it home, and her sister called
police.
The three Animashaun brothers are
citizens of Nigeria but are longtime residents of the Chicago who live
in the same neighborhood with the victim.
Each brother faces one count
of aggravated criminal sexual assault with a firearm and one count of
kidnapping while armed with a firearm. No one else has been charged.
The
Judge ordered bail for Taiwo Animashaun set at $500,000, Aziz
Animashaun set at $400,000 and Isiaka Animashaun set at $250,000.
The girl must have gone through a terrible ordeal in the hands of these young men and we pray she finds healing.
This design is wicked! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused.
ReplyDeleteBetween your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost.
..HaHa!) Excellent job. I really loved what you had to say,
and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
