The corporal, Mr Samuel Okere, admitted
to have violated the girl, but angrily said he didn’t insert his manhood, only
his ‘finger.’
He promptly offered the victim’s
parents N50, 000 to quell the matter, but they rejected his offer.
Okere committed the act in Ugbodo at
the victim father’s house when she returned from school. The victim’s parents
had gone for their teaching jobs when the police officer allegedly pounced on
the nursery 2 pupil.
When the parents returned from work,
the little girl started complaining of pains in her private part. The parents
noticed that she couldn’t walk properly.
Worried, her father, Mr Emmanuel
Iyiekuna, asked what was wrong with her. The girl told her dad that the
policeman inserted something into her private part.
Iyiekuna rushed to Okere’s house and
confronted him. The corporal admitted committing the crime, insisting that it
was only his finger he inserted into her private part, not his manhood.
He appealed to Iyiekuna not to
disclose the matter to anyone and offered him N50, 000 to take care of the
victim. The girl’s dad rejected the money.
Iyiekuna later took his child to a
nearby clinic where after examining the girl, a nurse told him that the girl’s hymen
had been broken.
In anger, the man went and reported
the matter to the State’s Family Law Centre, a special court in charge of
treating such cases.
At the court, the suspect denied
having carnal knowledge of the girl. The chairman of the court, Mrs. Elizabeth
Nwali, petitioned the State’s Commissioner of Police, CP Peace Ibekwe, over the
matter, calling for intervention and investigation. As at press time, Okere had
been arrested for interrogation.
