Clement James, Calabar.
A 59-year-old Okon Edet Okon, has allegedly defiled
a 12-year-old girl after he promised to pay her school fees.
The Cross River State Commissioner of Police, Austin
Agbonlajor, who presented the suspects to journalists, along with other
suspects that allegedly committed different offences, explained that Okon lured
the victim into his house at No. 12 Eyo Ishie Street in Calabar, and sexually
defiled her. He later didn’t give her the promised school fees.
Agbonlajor said: “On 1st April, at about 9:30pm,
the victim was returning home after being sent out of school for not paying her
school fees, when she ran into Okon. He promised to give her money for her
school fees and lured her into his house, where he had unlawful carnal
knowledge of her without giving her the school fees he promised. When the
victim got home and was pulling off her pant to take her bath, her mother saw
blood stains on her pant and inquired from her what happened. The victim told
her mother what the suspect did to her. The victim was taken to hospital for
medical examination to ascertain her health status. Meanwhile, the suspect
has been charged to court.”
Another suspect, Affiong Ene Mkpang (37), was
arrested for stealing a two-month old baby in Bakassi.
He said: “The mother of baby, Ekaette Bassey Udo,
had reported that she left her baby boy, Imoh Okon Sunday, in her room and went
to fetch water. She returns to see a two-year-old baby girl in place of her
boy. Detectives swung into action and arrested Affiong Ene Mkpang at Ene Edem
Street in Calabar South with the baby boy. The two year old girl, Amanda
Philip Okang, has been kept with the Ministry of Social Welfare, Calabar as
investigations are on to unravel the true relationship between the suspect and
the abandoned two year old girl.”
