A man identified as Michael Akinmolayan has been arrested for allegedly raping a female neighbour in the Sango-Ota area of Ogun State.

It was gathered that the incident, which happened on Thursday, saw Akinmolayan allegedly strike the survivor on the crown of her head with a grinding stone, causing severe injuries.

Confirming the incident on Saturday, the Ogun State Police Command stated that officers from the Sango-Ota Division swiftly responded to the scene after receiving a report and took Akinmolayan into custody.

The state command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, explained, “On November 28, the survivor’s brother, Ogundimu, who resides in Mushin, Lagos State, reported the crime. He was informed by neighbours in Sango-Ota that his sister had been seriously injured by Akinmolayan.
