Delta leader was detained for molesting a young neighbor

Men from the state police command have detained a village chief in Delta State who goes by the name Oshiji after accusing him of defiling a 14-year-old girl.

According to reports, he is currently being held by the Umutu Police Division for allegedly defiling the girl in the state’s Ukwuani Local Government Area.

It was learned that the suspect had repeatedly defiled the adolescent.

According to a community source who spoke on the record on the condition of anonymity, the victim, a JSS1 student, was lured into an incomplete building for the third time with N50.

He said, “The chief has four wives and many children. From the girl’s statement, the chief has allegedly raped her twice.

“Chief Oshiji lives close to the girl’s family house and has been taking advantage of the girl. He has been raping her in an uncompleted building.

“She said the chief threatened to kill her if she tells anybody but the third attempt was what exposed him after he allegedly forced her to take drugs.”

Before she admitted to her mother, the girl was reportedly bleeding profusely, which helped to secure the suspect’s arrest.

DSP Bright Edafe, the state police public relations officer, verified the arrest on Thursday when reached.

Yes, he has been detained by the police and the inquiry is still ongoing, according to Edafe.
