Welder arrested for defiling, impregnating 13-yr-old

The Abia State Police Command led by Mr. Adeleye Oyebade, the Commissioner of Police paraded a welder identified as Ugochukwu Oleka who allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl.

According to reports, the welder was picked up by police operatives attached to the Central police station, Aba, after a complaint lodged by Daniel Efuruezu, an uncle to the victim.

Medical tests carried out on the victim showed that she is two months pregnant.

While being questioned, the victim, a Primary 6 pupil revealed that Oleka had slept with her more than seven times and each time he wanted s3x, he would promise to give her biscuit and money. She said he also warned her not to disclose their relationship to anybody.

However, in his confessional statement, Oleka who works in Azikiwe Asa in Aba, blamed the devil for his actions and also revealed that he only slept with the girl once.

Oleka said; “I feel so bad for what I did, the girl is the niece to my friend. We were living in the same compound before I parked to my current apartment.

“Later, my friend asked me to help him to look for a new apartment and I found one for him on my street. Since he parked to my street, we have been visiting each other and the girl has been running errands for me.

“Unfortunately, one day the girl came to my house and embraced me. That was how I started having feelings for her. The devil caused it.

“I know that I shouldn’t have done what I did; I had not done that kind of thing before, but the way she embraced me made me lose control of myself. I am pleading with everybody to forgive me,” he added.

According to the CP, investigations into the matter have been concluded as a medical test carried out revealed that the 13-year-old was two months pregnant.

He also revealed that the suspect would soon be arraigned in court.
