The Ogun State Police Command has arrested Tahiru Hamidu for allegedly raping a mentally unstable married woman in the Owode community. The suspect reportedly exploited the victim’s condition for non-consensual sexual intercourse on multiple occasions.
Police spokesperson Omolola Odutola confirmed the arrest, stating that Hamidu threatened to murder the victim’s brother-in-law if he intervened. The suspect allegedly lured the victim to a cassava plantation, where he raped her multiple times.
The investigation is ongoing. This incident follows a similar case in March 2024, where a 26-year-old man was arrested for attempting to rape his pregnant neighbor’s wife.
