“We looked for them everywhere and had to involve local vigilante for a wider search.
“It was later in the evening that my children came back alongside other kids within the neighborhood. When I accosted them, they confessed they were defiled.”
While revealing that the suspect used to visit his wife’s mini restaurant, where he normally played with the kids, the visibly devastated man said they never suspected he would be involved in such.
Parents to the other victims, petty traders and a tailor respectively, also confirmed that the suspect had been in the habit of moving out with girls, both young and old, soliciting government’s assistance in getting justice for their kids.
The Nation gathered that the victims had been taken to the hospital where they were examined and treatment at no cost, while the suspect is currently at the state CID from where he would be charged.
Reacting, Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Hon Ify Obinabo warned that anyone found guilty of any crime would not go unpunished.

“Once the law finds the suspect guilty of the crime leveled against him, he will not go unpunished. We warn others who are using their positions to perpetuate crime to desist forth with or face the full wrath of the law,” she warned.

Accordingly, the entire process is hereby nullified by this honourable court.”
He said the consequence is that the PDP will not be able to field a candidate for the general election come 2023 “because of substantial non-compliance with the Electoral Act 2022.”
