The Commissioner of Police in charge of
the Abia State Police Command, Adeleye Oyebade, on Monday paraded a
suspected rapist, identified as Emeka Asibiriobwu, who was accused of
defiling a two-year-old girl kept under his care.
Oyebade said the suspect was arrested by
the officers of the Abia State Command of the Nigeria Security and
Civil Defence Corps in Umuahia, the state capital.
He said the suspect, who was still being
investigated by policemen attached to the State Criminal Investigation
and Intelligence Department, had raped the girl at Oriendu, a suburb of
the state capital.
The police boss said, “The suspect was
arrested when the mother of the victim raised the alarm on sighting her
daughter crying, while blood and fluid were gushing out of her private
parts.
“The victim was taken to a hospital
where the rape case was established. The suspect has confessed to the
crime and will be arraigned in court after the conclusion of police
investigation.”
It was learnt that the suspect, who could not state his age, however, denied raping the victim.
He claimed that the mother of the victim did not keep her daughter under his care on the day the incident took place.
He said, “My neighbour just accused me
of raping her daughter; but I didn’t do it. I have told everyone in our
community that I have no hands in the ugly incident.”
