Ebonyi state police command have arrested a man known as Mr. Anointing, (not real name) for sexually abusing an 11-year-old girl in Ezza North local government area of the State.
Recounting her ordeal when she was interviewed by Saint Nchekube Anakor, Special Assistant to Ebonyi State Governor on Security and Utility, the Primary 5 pupil said the man who is a painter resides in the same compound (close to the Federal High Court) with them.
The suspect usually sends the Primary 5 pupil on errands and would demand that she bring whatever she bought for him into his room.
He would then sexually abuse her several times until he was caught in the act he was nabbed.
The girl said;
He will always sent me to buy something for him, and when I come back, he will tell me to bring it to his room. Each time l entered his room, he will be touching my breasts and be inserting his fingers into my vagina. I don’t like what he does to me and I don’t know how to tell my parents.
Narrating how the suspect was nabbed, Anakor said he got a tip-off of the incident from one Tochuckwu and others from disco two at about 3:30 a.m on Wednesday August 5.
Upon getting to the compound, he discovered that Mr Anointing had been caught red-handed in the act by his neighbours.
Anakor said;
Thanks to Tochukwu Nwankwegu and others from Disco 12. It was like a joke at exactly 3:30a.m. last night. The little girl, aged 11 years, who lives near Federal High Court, Abakaliki, opened up on how one Mr Anointing, a painter who also lives in the same building normally took her to his room and sexually abused her.
Anakor advised parents to look after their children, especially female children, adding;
This is why I have been shouting at you, parents. Look after your children, more especially female children. You should know what your child is doing at school and in the house. Monitor her movement; it is highly necessary.
The suspect refused to say anything at the scene of the incident and was taken to Kprirkpiri Police Station in Abakaliki, where he was detained by the Police.
