A 72-year-old Nigerian woman has been raped to death by a 32 year old man who bears the nickname Ochu.
The incident happened on Sunday in Ibom Village in Arochukwu, Abia state, eastern Nigeria.
According
to the News Agency of Nigeria, the deceased went to fetch fodder for
her goats around 5 p.m. in a nearby bush when she was trailed by Ochu to
where he raped her to death.
The source said the man, a notorious Indian hemp smoker, was known for trailing and raping women in the area.
It said that before Ochu left the deceased to run away, he pulled her corpse to a nearby footpath for people to see it.
The
source said the assailant was arrested on Monday in Ohafia when he was
identified by a woman who was privy to the information about the crime.
The woman, who was in a bus en route to a nearby village, alerted military men at a check point on the road.
The
source said the military men arrested him and later handed him over to
the police in that area before he was moved to Arochukwu.
