A police corporal,
Samuel Okere, serving at Ugbodo Division in Ebonyi Local Government Area of
Ebonyi State, has been arrested by the state Juvenile Welfare Centre (JWC) for
allegedly defiling a three-year old girl. Okere was said to have committed
the act in Ugbodo at the victim father’s house when she returned from
school. The victim’s parents had gone for their teaching jobs when the
police officer allegedly committed the act.
When the parents returned from work, the
little girl started complaining of pains in her private part as she could not
walk properly which made the father, Emmanuel Iyiekuna, to ask her what
happened to her private part and she told him that the policeman inserted
something inside her.
Iyiekuna subsequently went to Okere’s house and he(Okere)
allegedly admitted committing the crime but said he only used finger on the
girl and did not insert his manhood. He appealed to Iyiekuna not to disclose
the matter to anyone and reportedly offered N50, 000 to take care of the victim
which was rejected.
Iyiekuna later took his child to a nearby clinic where after
examining the girl, a nurse told him that the girl’s hymen has been broken. The
case of defilement was reported to the state family law centre, a special court
in charge of treating such cases and other issues. At the court, the suspect
denied having carnal knowledge of the girl.
The Chairman of the court, Mrs. Elizabeth Nwali petitioned the
state Commissioner of Police, CP Peace Ibekwe over the matter, calling for her
intervention and investigation..
