The
police in Delta State have arrested a 73-year-old herbalist for allegedly
raping a 13-year-old girl in the Giwa-Amu area of Okumagba Avenue, Warri.
It
was gathered that the teenager was caught with the septuagenarian, Joseph
Umuluku, in a bathroom.
It
was reportedly discovered that the girl had become pregnant when she was taken
for a medical test after they were caught by neighbours.
The
suspect was said to have been arrested by policemen from the ‘B’ Division,
Warri, where the mother of the victim reported the case.
A
source at the division confirmed the development to our correspondent, saying
the suspect allegedly hypnotised the girl.
“The
suspect and the parents of the girl reside in the same neighbourhood. It was
said the man had been having sexual affairs with the girl for some time,” he
added.
The
Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Andrew Aniamaka, confirmed the
arrest of the 73-year-old man, saying Umuluku was nabbed for defilement.
He
said, “The old man also impregnated the 13-year-old teenager. He has confessed
to the crime.”
