A randy 33-year-old man, Dare Garuba has brutally raped to death a 70-year-old London returnee, Mrs. Egunjobi. The incident occurred in Egunjobi’s shop at Mowe in Ofada-Mokolokin Local Council Development Area of Ogun State.
According to witnesses, the 70-year-old woman had taken two bottles of Alomo gin and became drunk.
When she started misbehaving, the suspect reportedly offered to lead her home so that she would not be injured. However, when Garuba led Egunjobi into her shop, he decided to take advantage of her. The Coordinator of OPC in the area, Bamidele Ayeyemi, said a Hausa man, who went to excrete in a nearby bush close to the woman’s shop, discovered that her shop opened.
According to Ayeyemi, the man raised the alarm, thinking that armed robbers had broken into the shop. He said: “Some of my boys and I, immediately we heard the man shouting thief, thief, we called for reinforcement and went round the market. When we moved closed to the woman’s shop, Garuba opened the door and bolted. We finally apprehended him in the ceiling of an uncompleted building where he was hiding. We then handed him over to the police for appropriate action.”
What surprised us was that it was the same suspect who promised to take care of the woman so as not to sustain injuries, that later took advantage of her.” It was learnt that Garuba was still making love to the woman without knowing that she had died.”
The Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Mowe Police Division, was said to be at the scene of the incident with the woman’s husband. But the widower has so far refused to comment on his wife’s death.
