A 35-year-old driver, Yusuf Waheed, was on Sunday arrested by police officers attached to the state’s command for allegedly raping and robbing a female undergraduate student in a bush.

The victim had reportedly joined Waheed’s vehicle from the Agbogbo area of Akure, Ondo State, en route to Ile-Ife, Osun State, sometime last week.

After other passengers had alighted at their various destinations, the suspect allegedly drove the victim into the bush and brought out a knife.

He was said to have threatened to kill her if she did not agree to his demand.

After raping her, the suspect reportedly robbed the victim of her valuables, including a handset, iPad and N4,000.

The command’s spokesman, Mr. Femi Joseph, who confirmed the incident said officers swung into action after receiving the information.

He said the suspect was trailed and arrested in Ogun State where the victim’s phone was also recovered.

Joseph said,

“A search warrant was executed in his house. A flash drive with the iPad cover of the student was also recovered.

“He has confessed to the crime and blamed his action on the devil. We will soon charge him to court.”
