Two Held Over Gang-Rape Of 15-Year Old Girl

The Police Command in Ebonyi said on Saturday that it had arrested two teenage boys aged 15 and 14 years for allegedly gang-raping a 15-year-old girl.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, DSP Loveth Odah, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abakaliki that the suspects had confessed to the crime.

Odah said that the incident happened at Nkelegu Ishieke community in Ebonyi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

She said that the police division at Ishieke arrested the suspects who allegedly defiled the victim in her father’s house as he was away for his daily business.

The police spokesperson disclosed that the suspects, though minors, would be remanded at the juvenile welfare home, if found guilty by the court.

“The only thing that can make children of these age to indulge in such an act is cultism and drugs.

“Fidelis Nwoye in the company of his daughter came to the station and reported that both suspects went to his house while he was at his shop, tore his daughter’s clothes and raped her.

“Though they are minors they will be charged to court as soon as we are done with the doctor’s report,” Odah said.
