he Enugu State police command has recorded another breakthrough in
its battle against criminal elements who specializes in raping old women
at Opi, Nsukka community in the state.
This followed the arrest of one Nnanna Osondu, who had confessed to being among the perpetrators of the evil act.
The police spokesman in Enugu State, DSP Ebere Amaraizu, while
confirming the arrest said the suspect was apprehended with the help of
members of the community who responded to distress call from a victim.
He said luck ran out on the suspect on Sunday at about 4.30pm when he
attempted to rape another old woman during which the victim raised
alarm that drew the attention of some villagers.
He said the villagers contacted the police immediately and the suspect was arrested.
The PPRO said upon interrogation, the suspect revealed that “he used
to go to homes of some of the identified victims forcefully at night and
that he is now regretting every bit of his actions and prayed for
forgiveness.
“The suspect revealed that he specializes in the raping of old women
in the town, which according to him is normally carried out in the night
time by laying siege against any of his targeted victim along the road
while armed with his sharp kitchen knife, with which he usually
threatened his victims any time he confronts them so that they will
always succumb to his sexual assault”.
The suspect also reportedly disclosed that he had raped many old
women in the community and that he was not doing it for ritual purposes
but to satisfy his sexual urge since young women cannot succumb to his
wish and since he cannot lay his hands on any person in form of
marriage.
The suspect equally claimed that he abandons any of his victims that showed stiff resistance.
Amaraizu said the operatives of the state Criminal and Investigations
Department had commenced a full scale investigations on the incident,
just as the command thanked good spirited members of the community for
their prompt report and assistance.
