The Bangalore police arrested the accused - Prince John, aka Johnson, 31 - on Sunday. He has been remanded in 14 days of judicial custody by a local court.
"The accused raped the victim on May 13 in Bangalore. He had threatened her with dire consequences if she went to the police. Later, the victim fled to Mumbai and lodged a complaint with the police there.
The case was transferred to us and we arrested Prince John," said Bangalore rural superintendent of police D. Prakash.
According to the police, Prince John, who is in Bangalore on a student visit, befriended the victim's aunt a few months ago. On May 13, the victim and her aunt visited Prince John at his residence.
"Subsequently, he told his girlfriend (victim's aunt) that he would take her (victim) for an introduction to a friend, who would help her solve a personal crisis. He took the unsuspecting victim to a house where he raped and threatened her," the police added.
The victim is now undergoing treatment at a hospital in Mumbai.
The incident has caused unrest among the North East student community. In April, the death of Manipuri student Richard Loitham and the shoddy investigation by the police in the case had led to a countrywide uproar.
This is not the first time that African students have been nabbed for crime-related activities. Earlier this year, two African students were arrested for fighting in public glare over a girl; another six African students, under the influence of alcohol, had attacked the traffic police.
In Bangalore, nearly 2,000 students from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Congo, South Africa, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Cameron, and Sudan are studying in various colleges, according to Union of African Communities of Bangalore. Some of them allege harassment by the police for trivial reasons.
"Now, managing both, students from North East and Africa, has become a sensitive issue. But we will allow law to take its own course," the police added.

Poor lady. It happens everyday in Nigeria there
wat is rong with this peeps raping na?? dem neva see toto before ni?? abi ewo loshi???
The way the article is written is disturbing. The writer seems so sure that the accused in fact raped the girl. Where is the independent evidence that a rape occurred?
For crying out loud;Wats with men and rape these days? He's got no excuse and he better not blame it on the devil when heez being interrogated. Wishin him a very long sentence period in jail!

What picture is this? I cant seem to figure it out?
I hate to rush to make a judgement but clearly there are some gaps in the story. I am not saying that the Nigerian student here is innocent but until we get the full facts, I have to give him the benefit of doubt

Obviously an Igbo Boy! Most Igbo boys are rapists.SMH!
@anonymous 12:50 hv u been raped by one..if no pls stfu and stop being tribalistic.. Ode
Your father!
Your father!
It's a big pity the image a lot of Nigerians imprint on the international community. They have to tripple check every Nigerian they meet. GoD save us from ourselves!
@Anno 12.50am What the hell is that statement supposed to mean? Did you take a census to know that the majority of rapists in Nigeria are Igbo boys? Please keep all ethnic bull shit out of here please & say something constructive.
Amu papa gi there!
This story doesn't add up. Too many girls these days are having consensual sex with men and then turn around to call it Rape! Enough with the madness.
Take a minute to think outside the box: girl has crush on aunty's boyfrnd. Guy finds out girl has crush on him. They start sexing. Girl wants more than just sex. She wants guy to dump aunty and make her official gf. Guy refuses. Girl threatens to tell police he raped her. Guy laughs and calls her bluff. Girl goes ahead with her threat. Guy gets into trouble and can't explain himself because he is a foreigner in a foreign country with a passport that has a bad rep
*drops mic and sips alomo*
I don't believe this story one bit! I have a friend whose sour puss of an EX reported him to police in jand that he beats her and rapes her. Police came to arrest him oh! It took the grace of God that the girl dropped the charges. If not ma guy 4 don enta cell be dat. What was my friends crime? That He told the babe he doesn't want to date her any more coz she's very violent! Women are EVIL. Can't say it enof!!! If a girl/woman is bitter about something, there are only 2 ways to fuck a man up. Report him to popo if he doesn't have papers. Or tell popo he raped you! Either ways the nigga is getting effd big time!!!
Abi oh I wonder! Coward guy..
@MAXIMUS I FEEL U JARE, WOMEN CAN DO ANYTHING TO PUT A GUY IN TROUBLE OUT OF JEALOUSY OR REVENGE. I AINT SAYING THE GUY IS INNOCENT, BUT NEITHER IS SHE GUILTY.
ISN'T IT JUST RECENTLY WE READ ABOUT A GUY THAT WAS JAILED 10YRS FOR A CRIME NOT COMMITTED. WITH THE RATE AT WHICH LADIES DESPERATELY TELL LIES AND ARE SENTIMENTALLY BELIEVED IS ALARMING!!!
ABEGI!!! IF THEY HAVE NO EVIDENCE THEY SHOULD BETTER LET THE GUY BE
@willadebo
Agree with MAXIMUS and BLANKAR.
You all have forgotten the guy that was wrongly accused for 10years so soon? KMT!
Guys, please Learn!
I'm willing to bet that the majority of anti-Igbo quips here are from Yorubas.
On that note, I just wanna say that y'all shouldn't say pim! or preach naija unity when the next child molestation and/or rape case involving a Yoruba man comes to light as usual.
The bottom line is that most Nigerian guys are very aggressive and they try to act like that where ever they go. Norms and cultures differs. It's not all their fault because they are used to it in Nigeria. Not all but most of the Nigerian girls when they so no stop, they are JUST SAYING IT and before you know it, the guy will be all inside of her with her couchy all wide open and still say no na, please stop. But out there, no means know and if you continue, they have the right to press charges against you. There's a thin line between rape and consentual sex. So these hot headed Nigerian guys should really becareful to know and remember that no actually means no. Even wives sue husbands for rape as a result of no consent to sex.
Wats wit dis rubbish?do u eva think a good medical student who hav a bright future will ever spoil her image just 4 d sake of dis niggar!! U low life people!!!
