A 29-year-old driving instructor, Festus Udo, has been arrested by police in Ogun for allegedly raping and strangling a female youth corps member.
The Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Ilyasu, who led journalists on Wednesday to the scene of the crime at Abule Ayo area in Mawuko, Odeda local government of the state, said the suspect had confessed.
The decomposed body of the victim, 23-year-old Modupe Taiyese, was found at the scene in the forest.
Mr. Ilyasu said the suspect was a driving instructor with Lizzy Driving School, Abeokuta, where the victim registered to learn driving.
He said Mr. Udo, an indigene of Oromi in Edo State, on Saturday lured the corps member into the bush with the promise of giving her a driving permit.
The commissioner said police received complaint of a missing person from the coordinator of the NYSC in the state, John Okon, and immediately went into action.
