Police have arrested a 41-year-old commercial bus driver for allegedly raping a 78-year-old woman in Lagos.

The commissioner of police, Mr Imohimi Edgal, disclosed this today during a media briefing at the command’s headquarters in Ikeja.

Edgal said that the Septuagenarian had asked for directions to a place in Lagos from the suspect who instead lured her to a secluded place and raped her.

According to him, the woman was going to Ketu when the suspect picked her in his bus at Maryland.

“Unknown to the woman, the commercial bus driver who had ulterior motive, drove her to Adeniyi Jones in Ikeja where he forcefully had sex with her in spite of her old age.

“A passer-by, who heard the woman’s shouts for help called the police and pointed them to the direction of the screams and he was caught in the act.

“The woman was bleeding while she was rescued from the scene.

“The suspect is presently in custody and will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded,” Edgal said.
