In awful news, a 30-year-old man Inya-Okoro from Afikpo North Local Government area of Ebonyi, has been arrested for raping the 2-year-old daughter of his neighbor, Favour.

In an interview with Crime Watch, he admitted to the crime and blamed it on his sexual urges

“What happened was that I went to look for job as labourer on the fateful day but could not get any job and I returned home.  As I was washing my cloth, I saw the girl laying down sleeping wearing only pant, I rushed and carried her and have sex with her. It was ‘conji’ that caused it and I don’t have money to go for mature girls.”

Favour has since been taken to the hospital for medical examination and treatment.

The state’s Assistant Superintendent of Police Chris Anyanwu lamented the high rate of rape in the area and urged parents to be careful.
