A 45-year-old man identified as Udohika has been arrested by the police in Port Harcourt for allegedly assaulting a two-year-old girl.
Sources said the man, who is an electronic technician, allegedly lured the girl whenever he was alone in the store at Gada Street, Ogbunabali, Port Harcourt.
The girl’s father became suspicious when she started complaining of pains in her vagina when he was bathing her.
Upon interrogation, the little girl demonstrated how Udohika used to touch and rob her vagina in his store when nobody is around. The child also took her father to identify the shop which is located at the front of their compound.
The father, who lost his wife during the birth of the girl, made a complaint at Old GRA Police Division and personnel of the Division effected the arrest of the suspect.
But the National Coordinator of Centre for Basic Rights Protection And Accountability Campaign, Prince Wiro urged the police to carry out a thorough investigation to ascertain the veracity of the claims made by the father of the child after the suspect denied the allegations.
“If the suspect is found culpable in course of investigation, he should be made to face the law”.
The spokesperson for the Rivers State Police Command, Mrs. Grace Iringe Koko confirmed the arrest of the suspect. She said the suspect has been transferred to State CIID for investigation
