Man, 30, Impregnates Neighbour’s 12-Year-Old Maid In Rivers
A 30-year-old Henry Ogbuji from Emohua, Rivers State, is now in police custody for allegedly impregnating a 12-year-old girl in the area.
It was gathered that the victim was a maid of the suspect’s neighbour.
Ogbuji’s arrest, last Tuesday by the Rumuepirikom (Kala) Divisional Police Headquarters in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area followed a complaint lodged by the victim’s guardian after discovering that the minor was pregnant.
It was alleged that Ogbuji sexually abused the 12-year-old girl when she came into his house on an errand in March.
Reacting, the Centre for Basic Rights Protection and Accountability Campaign (CBRPAC) called for proper investigation into the incident with a view to arraigning the suspect in court if found culpable.
The National Coordinator of the group, Prince Wiro, made the position of the group known in a statement in Port Harcourt.
Wiro disclosed that the group had brought the matter before the Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Nnamdi Omoni.
It was further gathered that the suspect has been transferred to the Human Rights Desk of Rivers State Police Command headquarters in Moscow Road, Port Harcourt.
