A man simply identified as Chinedu, a resident of Anozie Street in Mile 2 Diobu, Port Harcourt Rivers has fled the State to evade arrest by the operatives of the Rivers Police Command investigating the allegation that he serially raped his 14 years old daughter in the last two years.
Sources revealed that residents became aware of the alleged rape of his 14-year-old daughter, following the complaints the teenager made to a neighbour about her ordeal at the hands of the father.
We gathered that the neighbour alerted the Police on the development and the victim was taken to Azikiwe Police Division at Illabouchi, Mile 2 Diobu where the matter was reported.
It was also learnt that the teenage girl, in her statement, alleged that her father had been defiling her for the past two years.
Residents told our reporter that the suspect fled his house before the arrival of Police detectives from the Azikiwe Division.
At the time of filing this report, it was gathered that the mother of the teenage girl who is the suspect’s estranged wife had taken the victim away. When our correspondent visited the street, the suspect’s Bar was under lock and key.
In the meantime, a Rights Advocate and National Coordinator of the Centre for Basic Rights Protection And Accountability Campaign, Mr Prince Wiro, has called on residents with useful information on the whereabouts of the suspect to pass such information to the Police.
Mr Wiro noted that the veracity of the allegation cannot be ascertained if the suspect is not available for investigation.
The Spokesperson for Rivers State Police Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko was yet to respond to our enquiry on the incident by our reporter. However, multiple Police sources confirmed the incident.
