36-Year-Old Man Rapes Teenage Girl To Death In Bayelsa

Otuoke, the university community, in Ogbia Local
Government Area of Bayelsa, was thrown into
mourning on Thursday morning. Members of the
community woke up to hear reports that a 36-
year old man raped an 18-year old teenage girl
to death.
The man, who was said to have been driven by
his excessive libido, was identified as a close
associate to a former Community Development
Chairman.
It was learnt that the man whose name could
not be determined hailed from Isoko in Delta
State Local Government Area.
He was rounded up by an operative of the
Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps
(NSCDC) who saw him attempting to cast the
remains of the girl into a nearby bush.
But some persons in the community claimed the
suspect was trying to assist the girl in his home
before she died.
The Nation gathered that the suspect lives in an
uncompleted building across the Otuoke bridge,
few meters away from the house of President
Goodluck Jonathan.
Eyewitnesses said the man was apprehended
with the naked remains of his victim, claiming
that the suspect must have drugged the girl
before raping her.
A source who identified herself as Eunice said
the suspect claimed that he met his victim
writhing in pains and decided to assist her.
She said: "We saw the civil defence officer
dragging the man and lamenting that the man
had raped a teenager to death. We rushed to the
scene. The man was begging for understanding.
"He said he was innocent. He said he met the
girl in pains. According to him the girl was
frustrated and drank poison and was rolling
violently on the ground when he met her.
"He said attempted to rescue the girl and
borrowed N5, 000 to take her to a clinic. On
getting to the clinic, he said there was no one
on duty and that he took the girl to his house.
The girl according to him died in his house
later."
