I Was Aroused By Her Nudity - 18-Year-Old Boy Rapes Mad Woman OnLagos Road

Policemen from the Oke-Odo police station, Ile-Epo, Abule-Egba area of
Lagos state have arrested an 18-year-old boy, Chimaobi Peter, 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 with his pants down
raping the woman.
The suspect denied raping the woman. According to him, he had not yet
begun before she screamed and attracted people’s attention.
Narrating what happened he said that on that day he was drunk and
had 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.
“I did not know what came over me. Maybe I am under a curse but I
did not have sex with her because as I removed my trouser and wanted
to penetrate her, she screamed and started struggling with me.
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 raped 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 raped her.
The police are, however, having trouble taking her to the hospital as
she has refused to go with them.
There have been a number of rape cases recently. 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.
