The suspect claimed he hadn't penetrated the woman before she started screaming and people rushed to her rescue. on the contrary, the woman’s family members said Peter had already penetrated. They also alleged that he decided to have sex with their aunt for ritual purposes.
One of the family members said:
“When he was dragged off her, she couldn’t get up for more than three/four hours. She was extremely weak. There’s no doubt that he used something on her.”
However, the mentally ill woman, identified as Iya Rasheedi, has refused to yield to tricks and use of force to lure her to the Mirabel Centre at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, where it would be ascertained if the boy had penetrated her not before he was caught in the act.
According to reports, some of her relatives wants the investigators to give them time to get one of her five kids, who are all married and live in different in areas of Lagos to come speak to her so as to lure her to the hospital, as it is believed she will follow any of her children to the hospital.
While vehemently denying that he penetrated the mentally ill woman, Peter said:
“If not for the security men, maybe I would have had sex with her, notwithstanding that she was screaming and struggling....I don’t know what came over me. Please forgive me. I had a lot of things on my mind. My problems are bigger than me. I have nobody to help me.
About the idian hemp recovered from his pocket when nabbed, he said:
“My spirit is willing to serve God, but my flesh is always deceiving me. “I saw the woman naked at
Oke-Odo Pipeline. I was even planning to go and sleep at Super when I saw her....I removed my trouser and tried to force her to have sex with me. She started shouting.”
“He also said that since his parents died, nobody wants to take care of him because “anybody that takes care of me, will suddenly die! I’ve been told to carry out sacrifice and libation on my grandfather and father’s grave.”
According to a relative of Iya Rashidi:
“The woman has five grown kids. She has been mentally ill for over 27 years. The illness used to come and go....Once it goes, she would cover her body and once it comes upon her, she leaves home and starts wandering....“This her condition was what killed her elder brother. He was going everywhere, seeking solution for her problem until he died. Her husband disappeared and abandoned her after she became sick.”
Investigations are still ongoing on the case.
