A British teenager has recalled the terrifying moment she was dragged into the woods and raped by a Nigerian migrant, who dodged deportation because it would ‘breach his human rights’.
Gift Oladele, 24, targeted the 19-year-old as she walked home on an isolated footpath in Wrexham, Wales, after a night out on September 7 last year.
The teenager has now revealed that after the attack, Oladele said to her: ‘I think you’ve had enough now. At least you have been raped by someone good-looking.’
Oladele had told the young woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, that he was walking home the same way she was and that he would accompany her.
But as they passed an isolated area, he grabbed her by the mouth and forced her into the woods, where he violently raped her.
Oladele was found guilty of rape and sexual assault in a Mold Crown Court trial in March.
When he carried out the attack, he was already on bail over another rape allegation in his home city of Manchester in November 2024.
He was also previously jailed in 2022 for a sexually motivated attack, and it has emerged he successfully fought against deportation to Nigeria on human rights grounds.
Recalling the rape last September, the woman, now aged 20, said: ‘He was a lot bigger than I was – I tried pushing him away, but he overpowered me.
‘He was covering my mouth. I was trying to get his arm off me, but he wasn’t budging. That’s when he raped me violently.
North Wales Police arrested Oladele hours later. He denied the allegations but was convicted of rape and sexual assault by a jury at Mold Crown Court in March 2026. He was sentenced at Caernarfon Crown Court on April 30.
