A middle aged man and father of three in
Onueke, Ezza South Local Government
Area of Ebonyi State, Chinedu Nwoja is
now telling the police why he defiled nine
children, whose ages range between of
six and ten. Nwoja, who lives with the children in the
same compound, is said to have been
having carnal knowledge of the children
for quite some time. One of the victims, Precious (surname
withheld), while narrating her ordeal, said
Nwoja has had s*x with her about five
times and that he usually did that in
secluded areas including inside his car. The 10-year-old said at times she will be
in deep sleep when the man will carry her
to a corner in the compound and defile
her. “Last time, Chinedu carried me when I
was sleeping in the house and dropped
in a bush at the back of our yard and
asked me to remove my clothes. “When I refused, she torn them off and
removed his clothes and slept with me.
“He also usually has s*x with me inside
his car which he used to park at the back
of our compound,” she said. Another victim, Amarachi (surname
withheld) told New Telegraph that she
was sent on an errand in the night by her
father when Nwoja approached her and
started requesting for s*x. “When he came to me and said he wants
to have s*x with me, I started running but
he later caught me and took me inside
bush. “He immediately removed my paints and
started rapping me. I shouted but no one
heard me because the place was lonely
and little bit far from where people stay. “After, he used his hanker-chief and
cleanned my body,” she said. Some of the parents of the children, Mrs.
Elizabeth Nweke and Mr. Monday Obaji
said they became aware of the
development when their children started
complaining of pains in their private parts
pointing out that the accused admitted to the offence when confronted by the
community members. I
