RETIRED ARMY CAPTAIN ARRESTED FOR DEFILING 4 –YEAR OLD NIECE
A retired army captain in Calabar identified as Bassey Ekanem has been arrested for allegedly defiling his four-year-old niece.
The incident happened at Ekanem’s residence, Big Qua Town, Calabar.
An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity said; ‘’ Ekanem had sent the lady living with him to the market; then he lured the little girl into his apartment and started fingering her and broke her hymen in the process.
“It was the victim’s younger brother who is about two years old who told their mother that grandpa put his hand inside her sister’s bum-bum before their mother raised the alarm and the matter was reported to the police.”
The Principal Counsel, Basic Right Council Initiative, James Ibor, told newsmen in Calabar that the matter cannot be swept under the carpet and the suspect must face the full wrath of the law even though they are related.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Irene Ugbo, said the 60-year-old retired army captain is in their custody.
Recall that in the last one week, Barakat Bello and Uwa Omozuwa were subjects of sexual abuse and murder in the hands of unknown men.
