A police inspector attached to Mkpat Enin Police Division in the Mkpat Enin Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State has allegedly raped a 15-year old girl, Udo, at gunpoint.
Udo, a Senior Secondary School one pupil of Community Secondary School, Iyadiong, Mkpat Enin, said on Tuesday that she was returning from church on Thursday when a police team accosted her.
She explained that the inspector raised the gun, cocked it and pointed it at her, saying if she resisted, he would shoot her.
Udo said the inspector led her away from other members of the team to a dark area along the road.
The pupil added that the policeman fondled her breasts, and said, “Small you, possess this type of breasts!”
She said the policeman ordered her to undress with his gun pointing at her.
She said, “After he had forced me to remove my clothes, he ordered me to lie down and open my legs and raped me.
“As he was raping me, he warned me not to cry and threatened to shoot me if I opened my mouth.
“Blood was oozing from my private parts, but the policemen dragged me into the vehicle and drove to the station, where he detained me from Thursday till Saturday.
“It was my uncle, Dr Ime Stephen, that came from Abuja and bailed me with N10,000.”
Udo said that her mother left her dad when she was a toddler, adding that her dad had been paralysed since the day he fell from a palm tree. She said she and her dad depended on her uncle’s benevolence.
Stephen, her uncle, who said the culprit was also a police prosecutor, added that he could not believe his eyes when the girl pointed at the cop as the one who raped her from among the policemen who were on duty that time.
