The Rivers State Police Command has arrested a bouncer, identified simply as Obidiah, for allegedly defiling a 13-year-old girl at a location on Ojike Street, in the Mile 1 axis of the Diobu community, in the Port Harcourt area of the state.
According to a source in the vicinity, the bouncer directed the youngster to buy him a recharge card for his mobile, and when the victim returned, the bouncer instructed her to bring the recharge card into the room.
“Immediately she entered the room and gave the recharge card to Obidiah, he locked the door, increased the volume of his radio set and that was how he had carnal knowledge of her,” the source said.
Explaining further, the source said a co-tenant, upon realising that the minor took time before coming out of the room, questioned her.
The source said, “So, the girl now narrated to the co-tenant of the suspect what transpired and he, in turn, alerted the Mile 1 Police Division. So policemen came and arrested him on Sunday.
The incident has been confirmed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko.
“The command is aware of the incident, and the suspect has been arrested as we speak. The matter has been transferred from the Mile 1 Police Division to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department in Port Harcourt for discreet investigation,” the PPRO said.
