Osun State Police command has arrested a 29-year-old man for allegedly raping an 85-year-old woman to coma in Ilesa.
Parading the suspect, Kehinde Ariyo, before newsmen in Osogbo, Mr. Fimihan Adeoye, Osun state police commissioner, told journalists that the incident happened at Ogudu area of the town, around 11pm last Friday.
Information gathered revealed the woman sustained various degrees of injuries on her body, including her private organ, and eventually went into coma before she was resuscitated at a private hospital where she is receiving treatment.
“The woman passed out during the rape, but came back to life after some hours. The suspect was arrested the next day.”
“This is the height of wickedness in our society. The boy injured the woman in the process, but she has been treated,” Adeoye said.
The suspect admitted the crime, but claimed he was under the influence of alcohol as at the time he committed the crime.
According to Ariyo, “Mama asked me to sleep on a couch in the passage. I was already drunk and did not know what happened afterwards.”
“In the night, I went to the room where the woman slept and told her that I needed to tell her something. I told her to open her door and she did. I cannot remember other things. I just know that it was not more than two rounds and I know it was the work of Satan.”
