“Spirit makes me rape old women” – Man caught raping his mother in Kaduna
For Shekari David, there is a spirit that won’t let him rest anytime he is drunk, until he rapes old women.
The 32-year-old was arrested after getting caught raping his 65-year-old mother while she slept.
He claimed his wife left him due to his knack for raping old women in Kaduna.
Shekari told the police that he gets overwhelmed by the spirit as soon as he consumes alcohol and won’t be calm until his sexual desires are fulfilled.
“I am a farmer and I was once married, but my wife abandoned me due to my penchant for raping old women,” he is quoted as saying.
“I don’t know if I am under a spell but whenever I am drunk, a spirit comes into me and I will be going around town looking for women to rape. ‘I have been beaten up over this issue severally, yet, I can’t still control myself whenever I get drunk.
“I raped my mother during our last Moroha Festival, when I got drunk. I couldn’t find any old woman to rape and when I got home, I found my mother sleeping and I penetrated and raped her.
“My mother screamed when she saw me on top of her and our neighbours gathered. Everyone saw that I was drunk and when I became sober I begged her to forgive me and she accepted.”
Shekari also didn’t spare his 75-year-old mother-in-law. She was raped twice.
“I attended another festival in my wife’s community known as Mahuta and I became drunk again; in the dead of the night I went to my ex-wife mother’s house and found her sleeping and I raped her,” he said.
“When the woman woke up and saw me on top of her, she shouted and people came around, and caught me. I was given the beating of my life before I was asked to go.”
The suspect who has been remanded in police custody, said he couldn’t figure what takes over him anytime he’s intoxicated.
“I don’t know what usually comes over me when I am drunk. That spirit is what normally pushes me to rape old women,” he said.
