The police in Ebonyi State have arrested a 45-year- old man, Emmanuel Nwele, for allegedly defiling an 11-year-old daughter of his friend.
Briefing reporters in Abakaliki on the efforts of the command under Commissioner of Police Maigari Dikkoi to curb crimes, the command spokesman Chris Anyanwu said the man was caught in the act by the girl’s father.
He said: “Emmanuel Nwele, 45, a native of Umeh Igbudu village in Ikwo Local Government visited his friend, Agbor Alike, of the same village.
“After their discussion, as he was leaving, he saw his friend’s daughter, pounced on her and forcefully had carnal knowledge of the girl. The suspect was caught by the girl’s father, who reported the incident to the police through his village Chairman, David Onwe.”
Anyanwu said the suspect would soon be charged to court.
Nwele confessed to reporters that he committed the crime when he was paraded by the police. He pleaded for leniency, adding that it was a mistake.
The police spokesman said the command also arrested two men, Jerome Oziolo and Onyebuchi Nworie, for allegedly causing the death of a 28-year-old woman, Amaka Alo, who hailed from Ezza South Local Government.
“The suspects conspired and aborted the victim’s pregnancy. Oziolo, a quack doctor, administered some drugs, through injection, to the deceased, which made her to become unconscious. She later died,” Anyanwu said.
He said the duo hid her body in a room with the intention of disposing it of in the night, but the command detectives swooped on them and arrested them.
