Vasity don arrested for allegedly defiling 12-yr-old girl in Ebonyi

The Ebonyi State police command has arrested a university lecturer, Prof Felix Anyaegbunam, for allegedly defiling a 12-year-old girl.

According to the report, the professor was alleged to have been sexually assaulting the girl in the past six months.

Meanwhile, it was learnt that the girl lived in the suspect’s house with her father, who is the lecturer’s gateman.

A source said Anyaegbunam, who works for one of the universities in the state, was arrested on Saturday by the police, adding that the child molester is now in police net days after he was reported to the security personnel.

The girl narrated: “I was living in the village with my mother. My daddy brought me to live with Prof in Abakaliki. Since June this year, the Prof has been disturbing me. He always comes into my room and does what I don’t like.

“One day around 2 am, I ran to my father at the security house and told him that Prof was pressing my breast. My father told me to go back, that he will talk with him in the morning. Sometimes, I will wake up and see myself naked.

“The other day, somebody was touching me at midnight. I woke up, put on the light and saw Prof lying on my bed naked. He tried to touch me but I slapped him and pushed him out of my room. I was crying.

“One day, I woke up and my bed was soaked with blood. I didn’t know what happened. I told my father in the morning but he didn’t do anything. He used to tell me that if I leave Prof’s house, who will pay my school fees? That is how the Prof has continued to disturb me until I told my aunty in the school because I don’t like that nonsense Prof is doing.”

The Police spokesperson, Loveth Odah, confirmed the incident, saying the Commissioner of Police, Aliyu Garba, has ordered a discreet investigation into the matter.
