The police in Anambra state have arrested two men accused of defiling minors.
In a statement released, Ikenga Tochukwu, spokesperson of the command said a case of defilement was transferred from CPS Onitsha on August 8th involving one Emmanuel Sampson living in Odoakpu, Onitsha. Ikenga said the suspect allegedly lured an 8-year-old daughter of his neighbour under the pretence of giving her food and thereafter had unlawful carnal knowledge of her.
Similarly, on 14th August 2025, a case of defilement was transferred from the 3-3 Division which stated how a 13-year-old girl was defiled by a security man in an Estate.
Preliminary investigation reveals that the suspect, one ThankGod Damian, a security man in the Estate, lured the victim into an uncompleted building where he forcefully had unlawful carnal knowledge of her.
Ikenga said the Anambra State Police Command remains committed to ensuring justice for victims of sexual and gender-based violence. However, parents and guardians are further advised to remain vigilant and to promptly report all suspected cases to the nearest Police formation for immediate action.
He added that the suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
