Defilement of a 2 years old girl by a 52 years old man and subsequent disappearance by the girl.
The father of Isabella contacted me on how his 2 years old child was defiled by a 52 years old man in Mosagar area of Delta State.
We had during the past week intensified efforts and got the culprit arrested to Mosogar police station.
The hardworking DPO Bello has signed all reports to initiate a criminal proceedings against the culprit after interview with the parties and seeing the medical report of the little girl.
In another development, the mother of Isabella yesterday as we were about going to court, disappeared with the child up till this moment.
We later got a hint that 500 thousand naira was proposed or given to the child’s mother by the family of the alleged r@pist.
This is the dilemma we found ourselves trying to fight for justice ,with yet intentional propaganda flying right, left and corner. Thank you DPO we tried our best.
