For allegedly raping a sick 15-year old girl in
Alisimie, a rural community near Agbor, Delta State, the police have arrested a
70-year old man, Paul Ogwe, and his accomplices in the crime, Ability Ogwu, 65,
and Kenneth Okoro, 58.
The crime became public knowledge when a relation of
the victim, Patricia Oroyelu, caught the trio having carnal knowledge of the
minor, taking advantage of her health condition.
Premium Times Newspaper reports that the victim,
whose name was not disclosed to protect her identity, was said to be having
certain health challenges, hence the three old men capitalized on her health
status and swooped on her in the village.
The mother of the victim, who said the suspects had
carried out the act on several occasions, lodged the complaint at the police
command, a development which led to the trail and eventual arrest of the three
suspects.
The Delta Police Public Relations Officer, Celestina
Kalu, confirmed the incident.
She said based on the report, the police swung into
action and arrested the suspects who were detained and awaiting transfer to
court for prosecution.
