A suspected internet fraudster, Destiny Obiyan, has been apprehended for defiling a 6-year-old girl after luring her with rice and egg.
The unfortunate incident which took place at Edobor Street, Egor Local Government in Edo State, was made known by a middle-aged man named Okehelem Oyenma, the father of the victim.
Oyenma made the allegation during a protest march to the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Edo Council.
He revealed that the suspect was arrested at the scene of the crime with his native doctor, disclosing that he became aware of the occurrence when he observed his daughter bleeding from her private part.
Oyenma said:
“He took my daughter through the backyard to his own house, bought her rice and egg. My daughter told me that after feeding her, he pulled her pant, puts his fingers and after that, he inserted his penis. After that, my daughter started bleeding seriously.
Because of the curfew, the vigilance group assisted me and my wife to look for my daughter that night, not knowing that she was with this Destiny Obiyan in his house.
She told me that after he finished raping her, he asked her if she can find her way back home. We wanted her to take us to the house of the rapist that night but she said she can’t locate the house that night.
So the following day, I asked her to take her mother to the rapist house while I went to the Textile Mill police station to lay up the complaint. So when I and the police got to Obiyan’s house, we met him and his native doctor with his charms inside his parlor.
According to the native doctor, they have already gone to buy drugs for my daughter to stop her bleeding.
On the floor was a handkerchief stained with her blood and some other charms were on the floor. The police arrested the boy and the native doctor.
The rapist said he sent two persons, a boy, and a young lady to buy the drugs and that they spent N2,000 for the drugs.
He said the test conducted on her, showed that she was defiled. The test results from the police clinic and from the government hospital have shown that there were penetrations.”
He urged the police to conduct an investigation and make sure that his daughter gets justice.
The incident was confirmed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Chidi Nwabuzor, who stated that the matter had already been taken to court.
