Mutengene: BIR element arrested for attempted rape
Early Saturday January 27, 2024, two suspected members of the Rapid Intervention Battalion kidnapped a couple in Mutengene, Tiko Subdivision in the South West region.
A source who begged not to be named said the victim, Fanka Francis, and his wife were taken from their sleep around 2 AM
“Two people came and knocked on the door of Mr. Fanka Francis and took him and his wife to the bush in quarter one Mutengene when the two guys reached a certain location in the bush one of them said he was going to sleep the woman,” the source narrated.
The other kidnapper who did not like the idea of rape escaped into the bush. His friend who remained behind persisted that he was going to rape the woman.
“The woman held his penis and the husband cut the rope that he tied him with and joined his wife until they bite the man and shouted for help”
Police arrived and the kidnapper was manhandled.
Sources further revealed that he was recognized as a soldier with the BIR camp in Mutengene. His gun was taken away to the camp while he has been detained.
