A boy named Chimaobi Peter,18 years of age has been arrested by Policemen attached to the Oke-Odo Police Station, Ile-Epo, Abule-Egba area of Lagos State for allegedly raping a mad woman, identified as Iya Rasheedi, by the roadside.
The screams of the mad woman caught the attention of the residents, who rushed to the scene to find the teenager pants down having sex with the woman.The suspect denied having sex with the woman. According to him, he had not yet begun before she screamed and attracted people’s attention.
Narrating what happened he said, on that fateful day he was drunk and has no idea what came over him.“I was drunk that day and was walking on the road when I saw the woman who was stark naked and I was aroused by her nudity.It was her scream that alerted the local vigilance men who rushed to the scene. If not for the security men, maybe I would have had sex with her, notwithstanding that she was screaming and struggling. I don’t know what came over me.”
However, her family members are insisting that he had sex with her for ritual purposes.
Speaking to newsmen, one of her family members said: “When he was dragged off her, she couldn’t get up for more than three to four hours. She was extremely weak. There is no doubt that he used something on her.”
The police say the case will be taken to court, though they have to gather enough evidence which includes taking the woman to a hospital for a medical checkup to ascertain if the suspect actually had sex with her.The police are however, having the trouble of taking her to the hospital as she has refused to go with them.
There has been a number of rape cases in recent times. Last month, one Michael Oyejide, 24, was remanded in the Ibara prison for allegedly raping his 18-year-old girlfriend to death.
Also, a 32-year-old man, Uwem Femi Asuquo, was arrested for allegedly raping his 10-year-old niece inside a mosque in Lagos.
