Rivers: Man Allegedly Abducts, Defiles Teenager

A man identified as Prince in the Ogbogoro community in the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State has allegedly abducted and defiled a 13-year-old girl (name withheld).

Sources said the suspect, popularly known as Don P, defiled the girl for two days after she was abducted in a lonely area and took her to his house on Monday evening.

The little girl was sent on an errand when the incident happened, according to her mother who gave her name as Ify.

The distraught woman stated, “I sent my 13-year-old daughter to go and buy charcoal and leaf for me on Monday around 5 pm. But I waited till 8 pm I didn’t see her. So, I became worried.

“So, I, my son and my husband’s brother started looking for her. I went to the place where they were selling leaves and charcoal and was told they had not seen my daughter.

“We continued searching for her street-to-street till Wednesday morning around 12 pm when we saw our daughter running towards us and holding my son. We immediately asked her where she had been and why she was running. She said one man was pursuing her.

“We asked her to take us to where the man named Prince is staying around what they call the White House area in Ogbogoro.

“We saw the brother and he said he was the one who took and held our daughter for two days while she was on an errand.

“I checked my daughter as a mother and she has been touched. I’m calling on the government and police to arrest this man to pay for what he did to my daughter.”
