The police in Plateau on Friday confirmed the arrest of an 18-year-old man, Marvellous Luka, who allegedly raped his 70-year-old grandmother.

The police officer in charge of the case, Insp. Mulleng Alex, said that Luka, lives in Dangu-gu Village, Ampang West District of Mangu, Plateau.

Alex said that the suspect has been charged and would soon appear before a High Court in Pankshin, Plateau for trial.

The police alleged that the suspect in his โ€confessionalโ€ statement, said that he attacked his grandmother in her room while sleeping.

โ€œI was โ€˜sexually charged and I couldnโ€™t help myself at that moment and resorted to having sex with her, so

โ€œMy grandmother cried for help but I overpowered her and had my way.

โ€œShe tried holding me down but I escaped and ran to a market where I push wheelbarrow for a living.

โ€œI later saw a group of people who came after me, beat me up and handed me over to the police.

โ€œIt is the devilโ€™s handwork, I want my grandfather and the elders in my village to forgive me,โ€ he said.

Also speaking, Mrs Mary Samuel, who witnessed the attack, said she heard the victimโ€™s call for help while fetching water from the tap,

โ€œI was shocked at what I saw. I tried to hold him down but he escaped. I raised an alarm and he was later apprehended in a market where he works.

โ€œI took a wrapper which was on the floor and covered the woman,โ€ she said.
