There was confusion and tension Saturday in Nkpor, Idemmili North local government area, Anambra state over gang raping of a 14 years old girl by three security operatives attached to Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in the town. The girl went to fetch firewood in company of two other under aged boys at the vast land of Our Lady’s Church Nkpor premises before she was reportedly raped at machete point.
The Anambra Police Command confirmed the gang rape report saying a suspect has already being arrested while efforts are on to arrest other gang members of the security men that raped the innocent and harmless girl. Police spokesman, PPRO Emeka Chukwuemeka , a CSP said investigations are ongoing and once investigations are concluded the suspects would be arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction.
The Divisional Police Officer, DPO in charge of Ogidi Division, Mr Abubakar Isa also confirmed the incident and that one of the suspects was arrested by the local vigilance group in charge of Isingwu road, where the victim’s family resides and handed over to the Ogidi police station. The girl amidst sobs narrated her ordeal to newsmen saying they were gathering firewood and picking cashew fruits that fell on the ground inside the church compound when three security operatives of the church emerged from nowhere and accused them of plucking the fruits. They denied the allegation insisting that that they only took the ones that fell from the tree. Stop rape no means NO, whats wrong with some people..........i pray they are brought to justice.
