A young man has been apprehended by the Police after allegedly having carnal knowledge with a mentally ill woman in Ogun State.

TopNaija gathered that the man, identified as Tahiru Hamidu, was arrested by the Ogun State Police Command after committing the unholy act in the Owode community, located in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.

Confirming the arrest, Omolola Odutola, the spokesperson for the command, told Punch on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, saying the suspect took advantage of the victim’s condition to engage in sexual intercourse on multiple occasions before he was caught by the men of the Owode Egba Division on September 12, 2024.

The suspect was also accused of threatening to murder the survivor’s brother-in-law, known only as Shofolahan, if he did not permit him to continue having his way with his brother’s wife.

On one occasion, Hamidu, from Northern Nigeria, was accused of luring the survivor to a cassava plantation, where he allegedly raped her multiple times before releasing her.

“The survivor is mentally incapacitated. The brother-in-law who reported the case claims that the suspect threatened to kill him to prevent him from stopping the crimes. The suspect is accused of repeatedly engaging in sexual acts with the survivor,” the PPRO said.

“The suspect is also accused of luring the survivor to a cassava plantation in the community, where he allegedly engaged in non-consensual sexual intercourse with her repeatedly

“He began threatening the brother-in-law, warning him to stop preventing him from having sexual intercourse with the survivor and demanding that he hand her over to him.”

Odutola added that the investigation into the crime was ongoing following the suspect’s arrest.
