The Ogun State Police Command said it has arrested a man identified as Tahiru Hamidu for allegedly engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a mentally unstable married woman (name withheld) in the Owode community, located in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.
Confirming the development on Tuesday, the spokesperson for the state police command, Omolola Odutola, said the suspect allegedly exploited the survivor’s condition to engage in non-consensual sexual intercourse on multiple occasions before he was apprehended by the men of the Owode Egba Division on September 12, 2024.
“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 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.
