Okada Rider In Police Net For Beheading Five-Year-Old Boy, Rape Mother
LAGOS DECEMBE 22ND (NEWSRANGERS)-The Oyo State Police Command has arrested a 37-year-old commercial motorcyclist for allegedly raping a 34-year-old woman and beheading the victim’s five-year-old son.
The state Commissioner of Police, Shina Olukolu, made the disclosure on Friday while addressing newsmen at the headquarters of the command in Eleyele, Ibadan.
The News
Agency of Nigeria reports that the
suspect is one of the 17 paraded for offences ranging from impersonation to
attempted kidnapping, conspiracy and armed robbery.
Olukolu said the woman and her son boarded the motorcycle of the suspect from
Oja-Oba Market in Igbo-Ora in Ibarapa Local Government Area of Oyo State on
December 8 at about 8pm.
According to him, the suspect diverted the woman and her son to his house at
Imeleke Road, Lawal Estate in Igbo-Ora, and forcefully had unlawful carnal
knowledge of her three times before daybreak.
He added: “The following day, the suspect took the woman’s son to another room
and beheaded him with cutlass.
“He claimed to have dumped the remaining body at a nearby bush beside his house.
“The remaining body part was later recovered at the backyard of the suspect and
deposited at the mortuary of the General Hospital for autopsy.”
The suspect told newsmen in an interview that he was befriending the woman and
intended to marry her.
He said he did not know what came over him, prompting him to kill the boy and
that he had no intention of using the boy for rituals.
NAN reports that three other suspects were also paraded for alleged
impersonation as officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The suspects were said to have gone to the house of one Ijadunola Olajide with
fake EFCC identity cards and a search warrant with a view to intimidating and
extorting money from him.
Olukolu said the victim, however, raised an alarm after discovering they were
fake EFCC officials, leading to their arrest.
