A 70-year-old man identified as Omena Nzogbu, from Okwuanyi Onu village, in the Umuezeokaoha Autonomous community in Ezza North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, has been caught defiling a four-year-old girl inside a farm.
The little girl’s screams attracted a man identified as Robinson Nwokwu and some other people to the scene of the attack where they saw blood gushing from the victim’s private part.
Nwokwu said Nzogbu was working on his farm when he saw the girl who had gone to a nearby farm with her parents, and asked her to fetch water for him at a near-by stream, according to Pulse.
Narrating the incident, Nwokwu said,
“While the girl was fetching the water, Nzogbu went to meet her and started defiling her. The cry of the girl attracted me and some other people who were farming in the area to the scene.
By the time we got get there, blood was already gushing out from the girl’s private part. So people kept coming there to see things for themselves.
The man would have been lynched by an angry mob but for some people who rushed to report the matter to the police.
The police rescued the man and then directed us to take the girl to the hospital for medical examination.”
Confirming the incident, the state Police spokesperson, DSP Chris Anyanwu, said the suspect would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
