Residents of Ugwuachara, a bustling area in Abakaliki, were left in shock earlier today as a young man was reportedly caught engaging in a sexual act with a mentally unstable woman in broad daylight.
According to eyewitness accounts, the incident occurred just a few minutes before his arrest. Passersby noticed unusual movement near a secluded part of the area and upon closer inspection, discovered the young man allegedly in the act. A crowd quickly gathered at the scene, leading to his apprehension by local authorities.
In a surprising twist, the mentally unstable woman, visibly upset, reportedly protested when the man withdrew due to the attention the incident was drawing. Eyewitnesses say she appeared agitated and expressed her displeasure vocally.
The suspect was taken into custody as bystanders recorded parts of the scene with their mobile phones. The footage, which has not yet been officially released, is already making rounds in local discussions.
Authorities are yet to issue a formal statement regarding the incident. However, legal experts say the act, if proven true, may lead to serious charges, particularly relating to the exploitation of a vulnerable person.
Community members have condemned the act, calling for thorough investigation and mental health support for the woman involved.
