Painter arrested for sexually abusing 11 year old girl in Ebonyi
A man, simply identified as Mr. Anointing, (not real name) was arrested for sexually abusing an 11 year-old girl who hails from Ezza North local government area of Ebonyi State.
According to reports, the suspect usually sends the primary 5 pupil, Onyinye Uche, on errands and would demand that she brings whatever she bought for him into his room as he kept planning to hatch his evil plan.
Onyinye narrated her ordeal when interviewed by the Special Assistant to Ebonyi State Governor on Security and Utility, Nchekube Anakor.
The girl who said she always ran errands for the suspect who is a Painter, also resides in the same compound (close to the Federal High Court).
According to her, yesterday wasn’t the first time Mr. Anointing had abused her sexually as it had happened on many occasions.
“He will always send me to buy something for him, and when I come back, he will tell me to bring it to his room. Each time l entered his room, he will be touching my breasts and be inserting his fingers into my vagina. I don’t like what he does to me and I don’t know how to tell my parents”, she stated.
The Special Adviser on Security to Ebonyi State Governor, Mr. Anakor, said he got a tip off of the incident from one Tochuckwu Nwankwegu, and some others from disco two at about 3:30 am of Wednesday July 5, 2020.
He said on getting to the compound, he discovered that the suspect had been caught by neighbours when he was abusing the girl as they raised alarm.
“Thanks to Tochukwu Nwankwegu and others from Disco 12. It was like a joke at exactly 3:30am last night, until little Onyinye Uche, an 11year old girl from Ezza North Local Government Area, who lives near Federal High Court Abakaliki, opened up on how one Mr Anointing, a Painter who also lives in the same building normally took her to his room and sexually abused her,” he said.
He also said that the suspect who refused to say anything at the scene of the incident was taken to Kpririkpiri Police Station Abakaliki, where he was detained by the Police.
Anakor advised parents to look after their children especially the female children adding that: ‘This is why I have been shouting at you, parents. Look after your children, more especially female children. Know what your child is doing at school and in the house. Monitor her movement, it is highly necessary”.
