A commercial bus driver who allegedly raped a 78-year-old woman in the Adeniyi Jones area of Ikeja, Lagos, has been arrested by the police.
The grandma was going to Ketu, but lost her bearing, and was offered a lift by Jelili Lawal, 41.
According to the State Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, the woman was happy, never suspecting the driver had another plan.

The victim was taken to the hospital, was being counselled by trauma specialists, adding that the suspect would be charged to court as soon as the investigation was concluded.
