An elderly man has been arrested by the Anambra State Police Command for allegedly defiling a 7-year-old girl in Abagana in Njikoka Local Government.
The suspect named Linus Onuzulike was paraded alongside fifteen others for different offenses at the Police Command’s headquarters over the weekend.
Breaking his silence, Mr. Onuzulike, denied the rape allegations, saying he was accused by the victim’s mother, who happened to be his sister after they had a misunderstanding.
He said: “Benedict said I raped her 7-year old girl, but I didn’t. She’s my blood sister, married in Umudioka.
“She came to my house after putting to bed and pleaded I should accommodate her.
” I gave her a room in my house. She accused me of raping the daughter because of the misunderstanding I’m having with her.
“I insisted we must go to the police station the following day so she can undergo test but she ran away with the daughter.
“She later came out with the daughter and invited the police to arrest me, claiming to have carried out the test on the daughter.”
