Oyo State Commercial Motorcyclist Arrested for Allegedly Assaulting Female Passenger
A commercial motorcyclist named Kazeem has been arrested by the Oyo State Police Command for allegedly assaulting a female passenger who sought his assistance for a place to stay.
The incident, recounted by Police Public Relations Officer SP Adewale Osifeso, reportedly took place on the night of October 17.
The victim, who had recently arrived in Ibadan from Lagos, sought a ride to her destination in the Adeshina area. However, according to police reports, Kazeem diverted to an unfamiliar route, claiming he needed to stop by his wife’s shop.
He ultimately took her to an area in Ogbere, where he allegedly forced her inside and assaulted her. A medical report later revealed bruising on the victim, with evidence including female underwear and other clothing items found at the scene.
During questioning, Kazeem admitted to a sexual encounter but claimed it was consensual, stating that the woman had asked him for a place to stay overnight due to the late hour. He said he took her to his wife’s shop, where they spent the night together.
The case remains under investigation as authorities assess evidence and testimonies from both parties.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
