41-year-old man arrested for defiling 13-year-old in Delta

The Delta State Police Command has arrested a 41-year-old suspect for brutally defiling a 13-year-old girl.

This was disclosed in a statement released by the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe, on Friday.

According to Edafe, the victim’s mother had asked the suspect to watch over her children while she went to the market. However the suspect entered the neighbor’s house and violently defiled the young girl.

The statement said, “Parents, be mindful of neighbours you ask to take care of your children in your absence. In Ogborikoko, a woman asked her neighbour, a 41-year-old suspect to take care of her children when she was going to market.

“Before she came back, this suspect entered the house of the neighbour, saw her 13-year-old daughter and brutally defiled her. I made a mistake when I said 16 during the interview, she is 13 years old.”
