Detectives attached to the Oke-Odo Police
Station, Ile-Epo, Abule-Egba area of Lagos
State have started quizzing an 18-year-old
man caught pants down having sex with a
mad woman on the road.
The suspect, Chimaobi Peter, said he had
not yet penetrated before the screams of
the woman alerted people.
But the woman’s family members said Peter
had already penetrated.
They also alleged that he decided to have
sex with their aunt for ritual purposes.
One of them said: “When he was dragged
off her, she couldn’t get up for more than
three/four hours.
“She was extremely weak.
“There’s no doubt that he used something
on her.”
Although police are itching to prosecute
Peter, but the detectives need all the
evidence they could get.
One of the key crucial evidence is to take
the woman, identified simply as Iya
Rasheedi, to Mirabel Centre at the Lagos
State University Teaching Hospital to
ascertain penile penetration.
The trouble however was that Iya Rasheedi
refused to be cajoled or coaxed into going
to Mirabel Centre.
Some of her relatives said the investigators
should give them time to get one of her five
kids, who are all married and live in
different in areas of Lagos, come speak to
her.
“Once she sees any of them, she would
follow them to the hospital,” said one of her
relatives.
If the test is not carried out, Peter will go
scot free.
Denying vehemently that he penetrated,
Peter blamed his action on being drunk and
on a supposed curse that had been
following him from his village.
Narrating his story, the suspect said he
was drunk and was walking along the street
when he saw the mad woman.
She was stark Unclad.
He said that he felt his manhood roar to life
and quickly removed his trouser.
As he pounced on her, she started
screaming and struggling.
Some local vigilante men heard her screams
and rushed to the scene.
They rescued her from Peter.
Witnesses said Peter penetrated the woman,
but he had consistently denied it.
He however said: “If not for the security
men, maybe I would have had sex with her,
notwithstanding that she was screaming
and struggling.
“I don’t know what came over me.
“Please forgive me!
“I had a lot of things on my mind.
“My problems are bigger than me.
“I have nobody to help me.”
When police grabbed him, packets of Indian
hemp were recovered from his pocket.
He said: “My spirit is willing to serve God,
but my flesh is always deceiving me.
“I saw the woman Unclad at Oke-Odo
Pipeline.
“I was even planning to go and sleep at
Super when I saw her.
“I removed my trouser and tried to force her
to have sex with me.
“She started shouting.”
Asked the sort of curse following him, Peter
said whenever he succeeds and makes
money, it would disappear.
“He also said that his parents died, nobody
wants to take care of him because “anybody
that takes care of me, will suddenly die!
“I’ve been told to carry out sacrifice and
libation on my grandfather and father’s
grave.”
An angry relative of Iya Rasheedi said: “The
woman has five grown kids.
“She has been mad for over 27 years.
“The madness used to come and go.
“Once it goes, she would cover her body
and once it comes upon her, she leaves
home and starts wandering.
“This her condition was what killed her elder
brother.
“He was going everywhere, seeking solution
for her problem until he died.
“Her husband disappeared and abandoned
her after she went mad.”
Investigators said Peter is looking at life
imprisonment if found guilty since a
mentally unstable woman cannot give
consent for sexual intercourse.
