A 30-year-old man identified as Chinonso Ezekiel Nwaebonyi has been arrested for defiling his neighbor’s 7-year-old daughter.
It is reported that the incident happened in Awka, the capital of Anambra State.
The mother of the victim reported the matter to the Ministry of Women’s Affairs after discovering it while bathing her daughter.
The mother (name withheld) said that while bathing her daughter one day, she noticed that her pr+vate area was swollen. When she inquired, her daughter accused Nwaebonyi. She said the defilement had been a regular occurrence and always happened when her daughter and her twin brothers went to play in the paedophile’s compound.
She added that she took her daughter to a pharmacy where she bought her dr¥gs and also complained to the guardian of Nwaebonyi before reporting to the ministry’s officials, who later arrested him.
The suspect, an indigene of Izzi in Ebonyi State, confessed to the crime but claimed he did it only once. He was quoted as saying, “I never f%rced the girl, but only asked her to raise her clothes and lie down on the ground.”
As of the time of filing this report, the suspect had been handed over to the police for prosecution.
