The
Enugu State Police Command has commenced a full-scale investigation into an
alleged rape of a 15-year old at gun point.
This
is contained in a statement signed by the command’s spokesman, Mr Ebere
Amaraizu, in Enugu on Tuesday.
The
statement alleged that the suspect, a carpenter, Casmir Eze, from Umugoji Orba
in Udenu Local Government Area, on Sunday at about2 a.m., gained entrance into
the compound of the victim by scaling the fence.
It
said that the suspect, thereafter, forced the victim to open the door or risk
being killed.
“When
the victim, who was warned not to shout, opened the door the suspect who
allegedly was covering his face with scarf went into the room and allegedly
pointed a gun at the victim.
“The
suspect then commanded her to switch off the light and thereafter forcefully
pounced on the victim and had carnal knowledge of her.
“Angered
by this and unknown to the suspect that he was identified by the victim, the
victim reported to her relations who assisted her to report to the police.
“This
led to the police arresting the suspect, who is now helping the police
operatives in their investigation into the matter,’’ it said.
The
statement said that the suspect admitted committing the offence and maintained
that it was the devil that pushed him into the act.
“I
did not know what came over me, although I have been targeting how to get the
girl since and no way, hence I had to come through this way,’’ the suspect
said.
