The Nasarawa State Police command yesterday paraded
one Ikechukwu Desmond Okwonkwo for allegedly raping three of his
daughters. Seven other rapists who gang-raped a beer seller were also
paraded with him.
While addressing journalists at the state Criminal Investigation
Department on the successes recorded by his Command between September
and October 2014, the state Police Commissioner, Usman Yakubu, said Mr.
Okwonkwo’s wife reported the matter to the police.
The police commissioner alleged that the girls were in their father’s custody when he committed the crime.
The Commissioner said the victims had since corroborated their mothers
testimony that their father had actually had carnal knowledge of them.
Mr. Yakubu did not provide the ages of the three girls. He also did not say when Mr. Okwonkwo would be charged to court.
On the seven other alleged rapists arrested, the commissioner said they
deceived one Joy (surname withheld so she is not stigmatized) by
offering her a lift in their car after having drinks in her beer parlor
only to take her to a different destination and raped her.
The commissioner said, “That on 20/9/2014 at about 10:00hrs one …. (name
withheld) ‘f’ of Abuja street Lafia reported at ‘B’ Division that on
the 19/9/2014 at about 19:00hrs a group of boys numbering seven came to
her shop and drank beer up till 00:00hrs”
“When she closed her shop then the same boys told her to enter their car
so that they will drop her at home but instead they took her to the
house of one of them called Mohammed Suleiman ’m’ at M and ‘D’ private hospital along Jos road, Lafia, and had sexual intercourse without her consent”.
“We have recorded activities of scrupulous elements who are in the habit of raping innocent minors.
“Notable among them is one Ikechukwu Demond Okwonkwo who has been having
carnal knowledge of his three daughters. This revelation was made known
to the police by his wife”.
The he therefore urged the general public to report any case of
rape/defilement/incest to the nearest Police Station so as to curb this
condemnable act.
