In the state of Delta State’s Ebedei Ukwuole, under the Ukwuani local government area, police detained a 50-year-old community chief on suspicion of reportedly raping a 14-year-old girl.
After the chief was accused of assaulting the little girl, a Junior Secondary School class one student whose identity is being suppressed, twice, detectives from the Umutu police station acted quickly and detained him. He apparently has four wives.
The victim told her mother about the incident, and her mother noted that her daughter was bleeding profusely.
Following the disclosure, investigations revealed that the chief, a father of several children, had allegedly offered the girl N50.00 before luring her to an uncompleted building.
It has been disclosed that the man allegedly committed the act twice and even resorted to threats of harm to prevent the young woman from disclosing his illicit actions.
“The time, he raped her, he did it in an uncompleted building. The third attempt was what exposed him after he allegedly forced her to take drugs unknown to her,” a source revealed.
