Police detain, release father of Imo rape victim

The victim’s father was subsequently bailed the next day by a human rights activist, who does not want his name mentioned.

Speaking to our correspondent after his release, Arimnuta said, “The families made arrangements to see him and discuss the allegations raised by our daughter on Sunday but he suddenly called to say he would not be around on Sunday and that we should leave it till Monday. “On Monday, he called again that he was not around and that we should leave it for Wednesday. That Wednesday, when we got to the place he invited us, we laid down our complaint, and then he started beating around the bush and was making calls in between the meeting.

“All of a sudden, policemen came to where we were sitting and he pointed at me, saying that I was the one who published the story. That was how I was arrested that day.” It was gathered from the family of the victim that the suspect, Abana, was angry that a report on his alleged defilement of the minor was published and not the allegation itself.When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Henry Okoye, said he was not aware of the case but directed that the father of the victim should put a call across to him “so that I can take necessary action.”All rights reserved.
