Ex-councillor nabbed for raping 7-yr-old girl in Delta
A local politician and one time councillor in Delta State has been nabbed for allegedly raping a seven-year-old girl and injuring her severely.
A 54-year-old former Councillor who represented a ward in Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State, John Onose, has been arrested by the State Police Command for allegedly raping a seven-year-old girl and in the process, causing her to bleed profusely and her womb damaged.
According
to Niger Delta Voice, Onose, a father of six, who was at one time an
aide to the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Monday Igbuya,
had allegedly lured the girl, a Nursery 2 pupil, into a bush around
Fovie Street in Sapele town, and viciously defiled her, with the girl
currently at the Sapele Central Hospital, battling for her life.
The victim's mother, Onome Ojakovo,
said she came to be aware of the assault on her daughter when she
complained of pains in her private parts, though she did not initially
take the complaints seriously.
“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.”
