A 34-year-old alleged rapist who dozed off after forcefully having carnal knowledge of a 25-year-old lady in Sapele is currently in the custody of the Delta Police Command.
Delta State police spokesman, DSP Bright Edafe, said the suspect, Ayuba Adavo, on November 8, about 8 pm, accosted the victim along Amagiya Road, Sapele and threatened her with a locally fabricated gun.
He was said to have forcefully dragged her to his room where he proceeded to rape her.
Edafe said the suspect thereafter slept off ostensibly from the exhaustion from his activities with the lady coupled with the fact that he was also drunk.
“The victim on noticing that the suspect was fast asleep sneaked out and ran to Sapele division where she reported the case.
“Consequently, patrol team/detectives were drafted to the scene. The suspect was promptly arrested, one locally cut to size gun with one live cartridge was recovered from him. Investigation is ongoing.”
