HORRIFIC:MAN RAPES 9 YEAR OLD GIRL TO DEATH IN CALABAR

 A 20-year-old man, Chijioke Nwakor, from Aniocha Local
Government Area of Anambra State is now in Police custody for allegedly
ráping a nine-year-old girl to death.
The suspect who is currently detained at the Criminal Investigation
Department (CID), state Police headquarters, Diamond Hill, Calabar is
alleged to have engaged Miss Alice Eneji in a marathon love making
which resulted in the girl’s death.
Chijioke told the officer heading the homicide unit of the state CID, Mr.
Joseph Inuyashe, that he was born in Aniocha Local Government Area,
but grew up in Onistha, Anambra until recently when he relocated to
Okuku-Yala Local Government in Cross River State where he is living
with his parents.
He said since he came to Cross River State, he had abstained from
women, regretting that his first attempt to make love to a girl of his
desire has resulted in tragedy.
He said: “I used to see the girl everyday in Okuku-Yala, where I stay
with my parents. I don’t know what pushed me last Monday to approach
her.
“As I saw her playing with the three boys at Saint Patrick’s Primary
School, Okuku football field, I called her and asked what she was doing
there. I told her to go home and meet her mother.”
The advice took an amorous dimension as it started drizzling and
Chijioke and Alice had to take shelter under one of the school buildings.
It was then he said: “I discussed with her and she accepted so I took her
to one of the abandoned buildings that has been overtaken by weeds,
where I told her to remove her underwears and she complied.”
Claiming there was mutual agreement between them, the boy dismissed
allegation that he ráped her, saying: “I did not slap her or do anything to
her.
“I told her to bend down because the place was too dirty. The
uncompleted building is now used as a toilet, because most people living
around there had no toilet.”
Chijioke said he then went for marathon love-making but Alice started
crying but he thought she was pretending.
Few minutes later, Alice slumped and became unconscious and he
decided to raise alarm calling for help.
Alice was rushed to hospital while Chijioke went round the community
sourcing for money to foot the hospital bill.
“I was still looking for money when somebody called me that the girl
was dead,” he said.
When contacted, acting Police Public Relations Officer of the Command,
Mr. Hogan Bassey confirmed the incident, saying the culprit is in custody
and that they were investigating the immediate and remote cause of such
a criminal act. According to him, Chijioke will be charged to Court.
