A policeman in Anambra State has been accused of raping and impregnating the 13-year-old daughter of a popular pastor.

The police sergeant (names withheld) was said to have committed the crime at Nkpor, Idemili Council Area of the state.

The victim who is said to be two months pregnant hid the incident from her parents but had to confess to her mother last Saturday complaining about symptoms of pregnancy.

She later told her parents who was responsible for the pregnancy.

Read the Vanguard report below:

According to reports, the policeman initially denied the allegation and was supported by the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, which made the victim’s parents to petition a human rights group and the state Commissioner of Police.

After the petition, the policeman was said to have accepted responsibility and agreed to take care of the girl till delivery.

He promised to be giving the girl’s family N20,000 monthly for the girl’s up keep, which the father turned down, demanding N300,000 to enable him take proper care of her daughter till delivery.

In the girl’s statement to her parents, she was quoted as saying that the policeman ordered her at gunpoint to have sex with him on her way from school, a claim the suspect denied, saying the action was carried out mutually between them and not by force.

When contacted, the state PPRO, Emeka Chukwuemeka confirmed that the command received such report but said investigations were ongoing with a view to ascertaining the level of culpability of the said policeman.

The command image‑maker, stated that proper investigation in the matter was necessary, because the state Commissioner of Police, Usman Gwary, does not tolerate acts of indiscipline by his officers and men.

According to him, “the matter is under investigation and I will brief the press on it later.”
