The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a motorcyclist, identified as Afeez Mustapha, for allegedly raping a female passenger in the State.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the arrest in a statement via X on Friday.

According to Odutola, Mustapha was conveying the female passenger to her destination when he suddenly changed direction by taking another route different from that of the passenger.

Odutola said Mustapha had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.
