A 25-year-old man, Ezekiel Yunana, has been arrested by the operatives of the Niger State police command for raping an 85-year-old grandmother in Rafi local government area, Niger State.
The victim who reported the case at the Kagara police division, said she was inside her house sleeping when the suspect broke into her room through the window and then raped her.
She explained that Ezekiel had threatened to kidnap her, asking her to pay a large sum of money, which she told him she didn’t have. The aged woman said Ezekiel raped her for a long time before her grandson came around and rescued her.
When interrogated, Ezekiel confessed to committing the crime. He said he resorted to raping the old woman since she did not have any money to give him.
The spokesperson of the Niger state police command, ASP Abiodun Wasiu, confirmed the incident saying that the suspect has confessed to the crime and will be arraigned in the court soon.
