Teenager raped to death by a 36-years old man

 

Otuoke, the university community, in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa, was thrown into mourning on Thursday morning. Members of the community woke up to hear reports that a 36-year old man raped an 18-year old teenage girl to death.

The man, who was said to have been driven by his excessive libido, was identified as a close associate to a former Community Development Chairman.
It was learnt that the man whose name could not be determined hailed from Isoko in Delta State Local Government Area.
He was rounded up by an operative of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) who saw him attempting to cast the remains of the girl into a nearby bush.

But some persons in the community claimed the suspect was trying to assist the girl in his home before she died.

The Nation gathered that the suspect lives in an uncompleted building across the Otuoke bridge, few meters away from the house of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Eyewitnesses said the man was apprehended with the naked remains of his victim, claiming that the suspect must have drugged the girl before raping her.

A source who identified herself as Eunice said the suspect claimed that he met his victim writhing in pains and decided to assist her.

She said: “We saw the civil defence officer dragging the man and lamenting that the man had raped a teenager to death. We rushed to the scene. The man was begging for understanding.

“He said he was innocent. He said he met the girl in pains. According to him the girl was frustrated and drank poison and was rolling violently on the ground when he met her.

“He said attempted to rescue the girl and borrowed N5, 000 to take her to a clinic. On getting to the clinic, he said there was no one on duty and that he took the girl to his house. The girl according to him died in his house later.”
