Three persons have been arrested in Anambra State by operatives of the National Agency For Prohibition of Trafficking in Person (NAPTIP) working in collaboration with vigilante operatives for raping a 13 years old girl.
Chidimma Ikeanyionwu, the media aide to the Commissioner for Women and Social Affairs, Hon. Ify Obinabowho, revealed the arrest said the culprits have been handed over to the police and would be charged to court soon.
Ikeanyionwu said: “According to the victim, the suspects were co-tenants with them but took her to Nkisi river to rape her after they had an altercation with her father.
“The victim while narrating her experience to the commissioner said she was first slapped by the boys, then dragged to Nkisi before she was ordered to remove her clothes as the suspects took turns to have carnal knowledge of her.”
Nigerian Tribune gathered that the victim hails from Ohaozara in Ebonyi State while the culprits’ names were given as Sunday, Emelie, Chiedu and Nwa awọ. While only three suspects were arrested, the fourth, Nwa awọ allegedly escaped when security operatives invaded the neighbourhood at Nkpor, near Onitsha to arrest them.
