Man, 27, arraigned for raping his 60-year-old mum

A man in Ekiti State, south west Nigera has been remanded in prison for allegedly raping his 60-year-old mother.
Akintunde Omotehinde, 27, was  remanded by a Magistrate court in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, on suspicion of rape.

Mr. Ebenezer Ewuola, speaking for the prosecution, informed the court of the incident which was purportedly committed by the accused on the 23rd of August at the Ajebamidele area of Ado-Ekiti.
Ewuola reportedly asserted  that the accused “forcefully and unlawfully” had carnal knowledge of his mother, which led to her being hospitalized. He added that on the same date, the accused assaulted and inflicted injuries on one Isiaka Ojo, who attempted separating him from his mother during the illicit act.
He said the offence contravened Section 358 of the Criminal Code Laws of Ekiti State, 2012. The prosecutor said he had sent his case file to the office of the Directorate of Public Prosecution for legal advice. No plea was taken from the accused.
The Magistrate, Patricia Ajibade, ordered that the accused be remanded in prison custody pending the DPP’s legal advice and adjourned the case to October 16 for mention.
