A 75-year-old man, identified as Emmanuel Jaja has been arrested by the Adamawa State Police Command for attempting to rape a 25-year-old woman.
The suspect was apprehended in Mukuvinyi Village, Hong Local Government Area of the state.
Disclosing this on Tuesday, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Suleiman Nguroje, said the man who had invited the young woman to his house, tried to maximize the advantage of her presence in his house.
He said, “He invited his victim to his house and then suddenly advanced forcefully to have unlawful carnal knowledge of her until she resisted.
“investigation so far reveals that the victim, while trying to prevent the act, used razor blade and cut the erect penis from penetrating her, leaving him with serious injury and now on admission in a hospital receiving treatment.”
Nguroje added that the state Commissioner of Police, CP Afolabi Babatola, has directed the officer in charge of the Family Support Unit of the command to take over investigation and ensure diligent prosecution.
Meanwhile, three persons died on Tuesday, while one sustained serious injuries in a road accident along the Itamaga-Ijede road in Ikorodu, near Lagos.

It was learnt that the accident, which occurred at about 8:05am, involved a Toyota Camry car and a tricycle.
The car, which was on high speed, crossed the other side of the road and rammed into the tricycle, killing three passengers – one adult and two school children on the spot.
One of the injured, a secondary school student, who relapsed into coma, was rushed to the hospital along with the tricycle driver for medical attention.
The driver of the Camry car, however, took to his heels immediately after the incident.
A witness at the scene of the incident said the car was heading toward Ijede, a community in Ikorodu and was on top speed, making it impossible for the driver to control the vehicle before it rammed into the tricycle, which was heading to Ikorodu Garage.
The crash occurred near Cele Bus Stop at Ijede in the Ijede Local Council Development Area.
It was learnt that police operatives later came to the scene of the accident and towed the tricycle and the car to the police station in Ijede.
