The Edo State Police Command has arrested a 28-year-old truck conductor, Abdurazak Ibrahim, for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl in Edo State.
The incident reportedly happened at Uromi in Esan South East Local Government of the state on September 13.
Parading the suspect, the command’s spokesperson, Chidi Nwabuzor, said the father of the victim, Tony Ekata, reported to the police that Ibrahim raped his daughter.
Nwabuzor noted that the suspect called the victim while she was hawking groundnuts along Ivue-Irrua Road, Uromi, Edo State with pretense to buy groundnuts from her.
Nwabuzor said, “The suspect attacked and pushed her inside the vehicle and forcefully had sex with her. The police stormed the scene and arrested the suspect. The suspect confessed to the crime, while the victim was taken to the hospital for medical examination. He will be charged to court as soon as investigation is completed.
In an interview with journalists, the suspect who hails from Oyo State, denied the allegation, saying he was falsely accused. (The PUNCH)
