A similar incident was reported by PUNCH Metro on September 18, 2024, when the police arrested a man named Tahiru Hamidu for allegedly engaging in non-consensual sexual intercourse with a mentally unstable married woman in the Owode community, located in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area.

Hamidu allegedly took advantage of the woman’s condition, assaulting her repeatedly until his arrest by officers from the Owode Egba Division on September 12, 2024.

The suspect was also accused of threatening to kill the survivor’s brother-in-law, identified as Shofolahan if he refused to allow him to continue assaulting his brother’s wife.
