“She stated further that when she started making noise after the man had had his way, the suspect beat her up and sent her out of the house.

It was then a CDHR member saw her and took her to the station to report. “Upon the report, the DPO Ibara Division, SP Dada Olusegun, led detectives to the scene where the randy suspect was arrested.

The suspect initially denied the allegation, but when confronted with the bloodstained-bedsheet in his bedroom, he admitted to committing the offence.
