his statement bellow:
“My name is Uchenna, I am from Abia State, I
am a clearing agent at Apapa Wharf. I woke up one morning, as I was about going
to work, that was on January 28, 2015. My wife came in with the mother of the
girl, the woman was telling my wife to help her look after the girl that she
was going out. I told my wife that this is January, I don’t want trouble. I
told her to send the girl back before I return from work.
When I returned, I still met my wife and the child. I asked her why she has not returned the girl to her parents. She said her mother was not yet back. After two days, I still saw the baby with my wife around 7pm, I sent my wife to buy something to cook and the little girl followed her, I thought that both would come back together, but only the child returned. I asked her who was pursuing her, because she ran into my room house and locked the door. I asked Deborah why she locked the door.

I asked her who was pursuing her, because she ran into my room house and locked the door. I asked Deborah why she locked the door.
It was at that time I saw a woman pursuing her. I came
out angrily and asked the woman what happened and she said Deborah stole her
candies. I told her to come back and to inform my wife who brought her to my
house. In the evening, my wife was preparing food outside, the child entered my
room again. I asked my wife why she was still sending the child inside our
house, my wife said she sent her to bring pepper and salt.
My wife was cooking outside, and I was watching
television when the girl climbed me again and said she wanted to take her bath,
I told her to call my wife, who refused to come. She came back again and
climbed me. I started thinking about what was happening; it was as if somebody
sent her after me. As she was on top of my body, I begged Deborah to climb
down, but before I knew what was happening, I had started touching her.
“My wife was cooking outside, but when she entered the
house, she told me that something really happened in this house, I confessed to
her that something happened, but it was the devil that pushed me.
“I am suspecting that my wife bewitched me. How did she know that something transpired between me and the little girl?” Uchenna said.
The victim’s father Idris (other names withheld) told Crime Watch Today,
“My daughter was brutally defiled, according to the doctor’s report.
“My wife only begged Uchenna’s wife to assist her look after the kid. When my daughter returned home, she started complaining of abdominal pains. I went to a pharmacy store to buy drugs for her. After taking the drugs, the pains persisted.

“When Uchenna’s wife came and saw Deborah crying she
became jittery and started telling my wife that something strange happened to
my daughter when she left her under her husband’s care. So, it was then that I
asked Deborah what happened and she told me that she was defiled by Uchenna. I
was angry and we went for him, but he had fled. We traced him to Tin Can Island
where he was arrested and handed over to the Okoko police station,”
