The Imo State Police
Command has arrested two men for allegedly raping and abducting a 19 year old
girl in the state.
The police arrested
20-year-old, Victor Onumajuru, and his 25-year-old accomplice, Chibyke Chikere
for the crime.
Parading the suspects, the
state Commissioner of Police, Dasuki Galadanchi, revealed that the suspects
abducted and raped their victim on August 29 at their hideout. Dasuki said;
“On August
29, a gang of five men kidnapped the victim and took her to their hideout.
“The operatives of the
Command’s Anti-kidnapping Unit acted on a credible intelligence, rescued the
victim and subsequently arrested the suspects in possession of the victim’s GSM
handset.
“The suspects unlawfully
had carnal knowledge of the victim while in captivity. They have made useful
statements and they are helping the police in the investigation process.
“It is a case of kidnap,
armed robbery and rape. The suspects are Victor Onumajuru, 20, of Amauzari in
the Isiala Mbano LGA and Chibyke Chikere, 25, of Anara in the Isiala Mbano LGA.
“The victim is a
19-year-old girl from Mbieri in the Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo
State. One handset belonging to the victim was recovered from the suspects as
an exhibit.
“It is very unfortunate
that children who ought to give their lives good meaning by either going to
school or learning a trade are engaging in this kind of crime. My command will
not spare any lawbreaker. I want to assure Imo people that we will continue to
close in on the bad elements.”
