A 57-year old man, Anselm Osagie, has been arrested by the police in Edo state for allegedly having unlawful carnal knowledge of his 98-year-old landlady. Anselm, who denied the allegation, allegedly committed the offence on January 3, 2015.

The suspect also blamed his predicament on a –tenant who, he said, saw the old woman sitting on his bed while he was lying down and raised the alarm.

He said the old woman had been coming to his room since October last year. Anselm who was paraded alongside 43 suspects, said he was beaten after being accused of making love to an old woman before the police arrested him.

Also paraded was one Famous Aibangbe who allegedly raped a 50-year old woman in a bush at Upper Sakponba, and Yakubu Farouk who allegedly posed as a reporter with the Voice of America and Voice of Germany. Farouk was arrested after he allegedly interviewed the head of the Hausa community in Edo.

The state Police Commissioner, Foluso Adebanjo, said the suspects would be charged to court after investigations are concluded.
