Man Caught With Used Sanitary Pads, Pants And Bra, To Undergo A Psychiatry Test

A middle – aged man , identified as Kayode Michael , who was on
Wednesday apprehended by residents of the Danjuma area of Akure , the
Ondo State capital, for allegedly picking women underwear and used
sanitary pads , is to undergo a psychiatric test .

The man was
almost lynched by the mob who caught him with a nylon bag containing
female underwear as he was accused of planning to use them for rituals
or sell them to ritualists .

The Public Relations Officer , Ondo
State Command, NSCDC, Mr Oladapo Samuel, confirmed the incident , saying
the suspect was still in the custody of the agency.

He explained
that the relatives of the suspect had visited the command to say that
he was mentally ill and that he was fond of picking refuse around the
town .

He added that investigation had commenced into the matter
and that the suspect would be subjected to a psychiatric test in order
to determine the state of his mental health .

Samuel said , “ The
suspect was rescued from an angry mob by two patriotic citizens . He
was confirmed to engage in begging for alms and picking waste from
dustbins around the metropolis by his relatives and neighbours .

“
At the scene of rescue , no witness was willing to speak with the NSCDC
officers on the circumstances of his apprehension so as to determine if
he was actually caught with the exhibits or that he was checking the
nylon bag containing the exhibits , thinking that there were valuables
in it . Investigation is still ongoing on the case . ”

According
to a source, some of the female items found in the bag that the suspect
was carrying included used pants , bras and a blood – soaked sanitary
pad.

The source said , “ People saw him picking some female
underwear around the area, but when he was asked why he was doing this,
he could not give a convincing answer; so , the people thought maybe he
wanted to use them for rituals .
