Alleged rapist, Jelili Lawal
The raped septuagenarian had asked for directions to a place in Lagos from the suspect who instead lured her to a secluded place and raped her.
Edgal confirmed the arrest while briefing newsmen on the successes recorded by the command in the last one month.
“Unknown to the woman, the commercial bus driver who had ulterior motive, drove her to Adeniyi Jones in Ikeja where he forcefully had sex with her in spite of her old age. A passer-by, who heard the woman’s shouts for help called the police and pointed them to the direction of the screams and he was caught in the act.
The woman was bleeding while she was rescued from the scene. The suspect is presently in custody and will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded,” the police boss said.
