A 50-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly def!ling a 4-year-old girl in Ubulu-Uku, Aniocha Local Government Area of Delta State.

Human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, who confirmed the incident said the suspect was arrested on Friday and handed over to the Divisional Police Headquarters Ogwashi Uku, adding that he confessed to the crime.

“Earlier today, we swiftly responded to a complaint of def!lement of a 4-year-old child by a 50 years plus old man. We first took the child to a Government Hospital where she was examined and the Doctor/Nurses confirmed that the child has been altered (Penetrated),” he wrote. 

 

“We left the hospital and arrested the man and allowed the girl to show us who touched her and she pointed to the man. We immediately handed him Divisional Police Headquarters Ogwashi Uku where he’s currently detained. 

 

“He will be transferred to STATE POLICE HEADQUARTERS immediately after the Division is done with their preliminary investigation. KEEP YOUR CHILDREN SAFE – PAEDOPHILES ARE NEARBY.”

 

 

The aggrieved mother of the minor in the video shared by Gwamnishu said the incident happened when her daughter went to the grandmother’s house. 

 

“So, I went to church because we have fasting and prayer. I told my daughter that she won’t meet me when she comes back from school hence she should go to her grandmother’s house,” she narrated. 

 

“So, after our fasting and prayer, I came back and decided to check whether she had come back from school. She called me and I said what? Because I wanted to take my evening bath before bathing her, she said her buttock was paining her. 

 

“I demanded to see it and when I opened it, I saw sperm. I asked who did it. She told me that it was the brother that had injury on his leg. 

 

“I felt pained but I didn’t want to ask him. I was laying curses on him. I then went to report to my mother’s brother the following day. 

 

“My mother told me to go to the police at Ubulu-Uku. I went and I was told to go to the hospital for a medical test. She said he was the one.”

The spokesperson of the State Police Command, SP Edafe Bright, confirmed the arrest on Saturday, September 28.
