A Nigerian woman, 72, has been raped to death
in Abia state by a 32-year-old man whose
nickname is Ochu.
The incident happened on Sunday in Ibom Village
in Arochukwu, Abia state, eastern Nigeria.
According to the NAN, 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, he
pulled her corpse to a nearby footpath for people
to see it and then run away.
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 on the way 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.
