Nnanna Osondu is a young man with all the appetites of his age mates.
But he would rather satisfy his sexual appetite, which he described as
“large” with elderly women whom he raped.
Why? “None of these young girls around is ready to befriend me,” he
claimed.
Nnanna Osondu of Opi community in Nsukka Local Government Area of
Enugu State recently stunned security operatives and other inhabitants
of the agrarian community when he revealed his delight in raping women
far past menopause.
Osondu, said to be in his early 30s, does no
serious work for a living. It was reported that he had approached
several young women in the community for friendship, but none
reciprocated. So, he neither has a wife nor is he courting any one at
the moment.
He could not even afford the ‘luxury’ of an hour with
a call girl. Still, he wanted to satisfy his sexual urge.
In meeting his desire for sex, Osondu resorted to raping elderly women
whom he later claimed were better than many young girls around. But
having carnal knowledge of these elderly women, many old enough to be
his grandmother, did not come cheap.
Osondu reportedly scouts
round the community in the day time, for his prey, and once he gets
them, he goes after them at night. Since the alleged rapist could not
lure these elderly women with any material item, he reportedly
threatened them with a knife he usually concealed in his trousers.
Apart
from threatening to kill the elderly women should they refuse him sex,
Osondu also carefully selected those women who live alone in their
homes.
For months now, Osondu had successfully raped about a
dozen elderly women whose age averaged 60 years old. Luck, however, ran
out on Osondu Tuesday, last week, when a victim rebuffed his threat to
kill her and managed to raise the alarm which drew the attention of
passersby. That was around 4:30p.m on a bush path in the community.
It
was reported that a day before Osondu planned to carry out his crime
against the fair-skinned elderly woman, he had visited the woman
pretending to want to buy an item from her.
The woman was
reportedly alone at the time Osondu visited her. With the knowledge of
the woman going to the market the following day to get some items into
her shop, the rapist traced her to the market.
But on her way
from the market, he reportedly waylaid the woman at a nearby bush
brandishing his knife at the woman, and then asking her for sex. The
woman, identity concealed, rebuffed his death threats and started
shouting at the top of her voice hoping to attract attention.
The
woman soon got help from other villagers returning from the market, who
surrounded Osondu and gave him some beating before he was handed over
to law enforcement agents. Osondu was later transferred to the Enugu
State Criminal Investigations Department where he is reportedly
cooperating with the police.
When confronted with the allegation
that he was using the women for rituals, Osondu denied the allegation,
but claimed that he only ‘used’ the women to satisfy his sexual urge.
“It
is not true that I use the women for ritual. The truth is that I have a
big appetite for sex and none of these young girls around is ready to
befriend me. So I resolve to going for the elderly women,” he said.
Narrating
his modus operandi, alleged rapist Osondu continued, “I always get the
women in the night or in the bush mostly when they were returning from
the market. If anyone wanted to resist me, I only use the knife to
threaten them so that they can let me have my way. I never harm them
with the knife.
The truth is that young ladies in this town make
life difficult for you once you do not have money to spend on them,” he
said. Ebere Amaraizu, Enugu State Police Command spokesman, who
confirmed the incident, thanked members of the community for
apprehending the suspect.
