Yesterday, we brought you a story of a young man who was arrested on accusation of allegedly trying to rape a 71-year-old woman, in Lefkosa but reports reaching us say he is mentally unstable and was about returning home to Nigeria when he escaped from the airport.

According to reports reaching us, the young man who is between the ages of 22-23 is mentally unstable. He was about to be taken back home to Nigeria by his siblings who are also in Cyprus when he ran away from the Ercan airport. They went in search of him but couldn't find him.

Someone who saw him said; the young man came to his work place and was crying that they wanted to kill him so he held him and asked him who? During the process of questioning, the young man gave him his mother's phone number. He called the mum and she said they have been looking for him for days. 

He contacted his brother, when they came, they met him sleeping. They picked him up and said they will book a flight for him to Nigeria, but unfortunately, the mum called him few days later saying the young man ran away again from ercan airport. They have been looking for him until they saw a post about a man who was alleged to have tried to rape a 71-year-old woman in Lefkosa. 

He has been arrested by the police and taken to court on charges of  attempted rape, illegal house entering, and serious assault.

The police should please look into this matter to ascertain his mental well being and confirmed what really happened and the manner in which he escaped from the airport.
