A shocking incident has stirred outrage in Bayelsa State after a man, who allegedly pretended to be mentally unstable, was caught in the early hours of today attempting to strip a mentally challenged woman in a secluded area.
According to eyewitnesses, the suspect took advantage of the woman’s condition, as she appeared calm and unaware of the danger. Reports say the woman, believed to be mentally unstable, did not resist and was seen smiling while the man carried out the act.
The situation changed when a concerned resident noticed what was happening and stepped in to prevent the suspect from escaping. The witness reportedly called nearby friends for support, and together they confronted and restrained the man at the scene.
During questioning, the suspect allegedly confessed that he was sent on a disturbing mission. He claimed the act was part of a ritual assignment that required him to impregnate a mentally unstable woman in order to complete a supposed ritual process. The claim has further heightened fear and anger among residents, many of whom said they were worried about the safety of vulnerable people in the area.
