An 11-year-old girl has been gang raped in Ehume
community in Obowo local council area of Imo State.
The victim, Ngozi hails from Amaiyi, Ihitte Uboma local
government area, but resides in Ehume with her parents.
On the day of the incident, the girl’s parents had sent her to
buy foodstuff from Onuimo Rescue Market, in Obowo, and
in a bid to quickly run the errand, the girl took a commercial
motorcycle to and from the market
The father of the girl gave his account, saying, “That was
how she boarded the motorcycle piloted by 35-year old
Onyekachi Nwankwo, a native of Umunachi, Obowo”.
The father stated that after “Onyekachi picked Ngozi at the
entrance of the market, he told the girl that he intended to
pick his friend, Chike Njoku, who was waiting for him at the
time, at Ekeja Market in Ehume, Obowo.”
“My daughter innocently agreed. The story suddenly
changed when Onyekachi picked his friend veered off the
road into a track leading to the boundary river between
Umunachi and Umuagu communities in Obowo,” he added.
Meanwhile, the victim said she was compelled to follow the
rapists into the bush after brandishing weapons to her
face.
She said, “When I saw the weapons they were holding, I had
no option than to follow them.
They parked the motorcycle
inside the bush, pulled off my dress and had sex with me,
one after the other. They left me to my fate thereafter.”
