Adedamola Adeniran and two other Nigerian men living in Baltimore County, Maryland have been charged with gang-raping three women in the city of Baltimore.
According to Maryland police on July 27th, two women accepted a ride from two men near North Calvert and West Fayette streets in Downtown Baltimore. Police say the men then threatened the women with a knife and drove them to a parking lot at Seton keough High School in Southwest Baltimore. The two men and a third man who arrived later proceeded to rape the women at the parking lot according to police.
The three men, 19 year old Adedamola Adeniran, 19 year old Anthony Edoror, and 20 year old Opeyemi Adigun have been charged with rape.
An identical attack happened on August 18 and the victim this time was able to identify the licence plate of the car to the police. This helped Maryland police find one of the suspects who identified the other two. The three men also face charges that include false imprisonment and conspiracy to commit rape. They face spending the rest of their lives in prison if convicted. No sense of diplomatic immunity will apply to Adedamola Adeniran because his father has yet to be cleared for the position by the US.
The newly appointed Ambassador also faces another particular issue that the US government would like clarified. Sahara Reporters were told by State Department officials that Professor Adeniran has two wives in the US bearing his name. They said this will have to be sorted out before the appointed ambassador can assume responsibilities.

the father does not have to pay for his son's sins. who knows maybe the second wife jazzed him, Nigerian women can be so desperate.
It's not anybody's fault, the father nor the mother. Its the friends you associate yourself with. And to say the boy has not even been proven guilty. He might be innocent. Lets wait and see what happens. And for you adedoyin, what kind of talk is that, you should use your brain before you start spitting shit out of your mouth. What's the meaning of jazzed, damn you so ignorant and an illiterate.
This is adding more damage to Nigeria's image in the U.S. The Nigerian president should please appoint another ambassador to represent his country.
this isn't the first thing he has done. he has a felony left charge in Baltimore, MD for stealing money and credit cards
