The Director of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) in Imo State, Mr. Ikenna Unegbu has been arraigned in court for allegedly defiling a 2-year-old girl.
Unegbu was accused of committing the said offence in his office on February 5, after taking the child from the mother on the guise of consoling her after being scolded for pouring water around the office.
The mother of the victim Chinonye Obioma said;
“My daughter went into the office twice with biscuits and groundnuts, only to come out from the director’s office the third time crying. When I asked her what happened, she mentioned that Uncle Police (the suspect) removed her pant, and put his stick (penis) inside her bumbum. I went home in tears, seeing reddish, swollen vagina, remains of sperms, tissue paper gummed on her private parts. I called the Oga Ikenna (suspect) to enquire what he did with my daughter, and he harshly denied knowledge of the incident.”
Medical reports also showed that the baby sustained a serious injury after her abuser penetrated her.
The suspect who was granted bail by the magistrate of the family court he was arraigned in, is expected to be rearraigned on Thursday, March 19.
