A 54-year-old former councillor of Sapele Local
Government Council in Delta State, Mr. John Onose,
has been arrested by the police for allegedly
defiling a seven-year-old girl.
The incident, it was gathered, happened on Tuesday
afternoon after the ex-council lawmaker allegedly
lured the kid to a nearby bush around Fovie Street
before forcefully sleeping with the victim.
Mother of the teenage girl, sources told Southern
City News, got wind of what was happening when
she discovered that her daughter was bleeding
through her vagina and anus on Wednesday.
The suspect, who is said to be married with six
children, was confronted by the victim’s mother
after her daughter gave details of the incident.
The KG two pupil’s mother, who identified herself
as Mrs. Onome Ojakovo, told journalists at the
Sapele Central Hospital, where the girl is currently
receiving treatment that her daughter had earlier
complained that she was having pain in her
‘bombom’ without taking her seriously.
Narrating her daughter’s ordeal, she said, “But when
she came back from the school the next day and
was still complaining of the pains, I decided to pull
her pant, what I saw shocked me, my daughter was
bleeding from her private part and her womb was
pulling out.
“In my shock, I raise the alarm, which attracted our
neighbours, it was then it dawned on me that my
child has been sexually violated. I started crying and
I couldn’t imagine who could be this wicked to
have done this evil to my little child?
“I was then advised to put salt in a hot water with
disinfectant. While I was forcing my daughter
outside to sit on the hot water, the suspect came
out of his compound and was walking to and fro.
“And when my daughter saw him, she pointed to
him as the man that injured her.”
A senior officer in Sapele Police Station where the
matter is being addressed, confirmed the
development to Southern City News on the phone
saying the suspect has been arrested.
The officer added that the result of the medical test
was still being awaited.
It was gathered that the suspect was once an aide
to the Speaker of the Delta State House of
Assembly, Mr. Monday Igbuya.
When contacted, the spokesman of the Delta State
Police Command, Celestina Kalu, confirmed the
incident and added that the matter was already
under investigation.
