Police investigate allegations against 27-year-old Tinder user in Lagos and Abuja after multiple women came forward with complaints of a+sault and related cr+mes

A 27-year-old man, Kenneth Abatai Handsome, has been accused of sex+al assa¥lts, kidn+ppings, and robb+ries in Lagos and Abuja through Tinder.

Kenneth allegedly posed as a wealthy suitor, even paying for flights to lure victims. Survivors said he r+ped, r+bbed, and left them with life-thr+atening inj¥ries. One video shows a victim in a wheelchair after being st+bbed.

“He lures victims to hotels under false. Once there, he r+pes them, st£als their belongings, empties their accounts, and br¥talises them. Many victims have been left tra¥matised and sc+rred for life,” a survivor said.

Despite multiple arrests, including in November 2024, he was mysteriously freed. Victims allege lawyers and police officers at Lagos Command aided his release.

Motunrayo, one victim, said: “They raped me. Kenneth was the one who did it.” She recalled being amb¥shed, chained, and blindfolded before escaping. “In February, a friend told me she saw him on Tinder. I was shocked… The judge even warned us that if we see him outside, we should run because he is dangerous.”

Another survivor, Jetty, recounted: “I swear to God, I don’t even know where to start. I’m really crying now… I used my own phone and money to order a ride to a place where they r+ped me, r+bbed me, stabbed me, and took all my belongings… I wouldn’t wish what I went through in that room on even my enemies.”

A lawyer confirmed Justice Oyindamola Ogala granted Kenneth bail on May 11, saying, “Yes, it was a shock to everybody.”

Victims and their lawyer are now calling for his re-arrest, warning he remains a d+nger to society.
