A source from Ibere revealed that the assaulted child was promptly taken to the hospital for urgent medical attention. The 35-year-old perpetrator was handed over to local security personnel for subsequent transfer to the police, who are expected to conduct a thorough investigation.
This incident follows a similar case four months ago when a 37-year-old man was sentenced to life in prison in Umuahia for raping a 4-year-old girl. The state’s police command, as of the current report, had not confirmed awareness of the recent incident. Messages sent to the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Maureen Chinaka, remained unanswered.
