A Nigerian national, Qudus Ajeyemi who was studying in the United Kingdom, UK has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison after being convicted of attempted rape and sexual assault following an attack on a woman in Hull.
Ajeyemi, 27, known by the nickname “Spartan”, was found guilty after a six-day trial at Hull Crown Court.
He was living on May Street in Hull and was in the UK on a student visa at the time of the offence in early 2023.
According to evidence presented in court, the woman had gone to a house on Tavistock Street in Hull after a night out. After consuming alcohol and feeling unwell, she was taken upstairs by Ajeyemi, who had offered her a place to sleep.
