“This is the height of wickedness in our society. The boy injured the woman in the process, but she has been treated.”

However, in a chat with newsmen, Ariyo who admitted to raping the woman, claimed he was drunk after attending a party and needed a place to pass the night.

He said when he could not go to his own home, he pleaded with the woman to allow him to pass the night at her place to which she agreed. He said he slept on a couch in the passage while the woman went into her bedroom but he later went sneaked into the room to sexually assault her while she was sleeping.

“In the night, I went to the room where the woman slept and told her that I needed to tell her something. I told her to open her door and she did. I cannot remember other things.

I just know that it was not more than two rounds and I know it was the work of Satan,” he said.
