The Delta State Police Command has arrested a 41-year-old man for the alleged r@pe of his neighbour’s 13-year-old daughter in the Ogborikoko area of the state.
The spokesperson of the state police command, SP Bright Edafe, who disclosed this to newsmen via his X handle, stated that the victim was left in the care of the suspect when her mother went to the market and then he had unlawful carnal knowledge of the minor.
“Parents, be mindful of neighbours you ask to take care of your children in your absence. In Ogborikoko, a woman asked her neighbour, a 41-year-old suspect to take care of her children when she was going to market. Before she came back, this suspect entered the house of the neighbour, saw her 13-year-old daughter and brutally defiled her. I made a mistake when I said 16 during the interview, she is 13 years old.”
