THIS is an incident that shouldn’t have happened, a tale that mustn’t
be told, and a situation that a moral mind cannot fathom, yet, it was
allegedly perpetuated by one Chibuike Maduka, 17, at Ndibe in Afikpo
North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
crexThis revelation was
made possible through the arrest of the suspect by men of the State
Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, on
Monday February 10, 2014. The suspect was alleged to have molested four
children and his biological mother, Mrs. Idam Augustina Josephine.
The
NSCDC in Ebonyi State on Tuesday, paraded the serial rapist and
homosexual who allegedly derives fun in molesting young children of
different parents in his community.
The suspect who blamed his
strange sexual escapades on his mother, confessed to have had sexual
intercourse with her (mother) on several occasions. He claimed that he
doesn’t know what usually induces him to made love with children in the
area.
Parading the suspect at the Command’s headquarters in
Abakaliki, the State Commandant of NSCDC, Mrs. Ego Echendu stated that
the suspect was rounded off after a tip- off by an informant in the
area. She explained that the suspect had in confessional statement
disclosed that he had sexual intercourse with his own mother on several
occasions.
”We got a tip off from our informant and sent some of our
men to follow up the information concerning an adolescent male who has
been
in the business of molesting children in their tender age.
That
kind of act baffled me and so we continued to monitor the suspect and
fortunately at about 3pm yesterday, our divisional office at Afikpo
North Local Government Area were able to round off the suspect and the
victims, and their parents; and also the suspect’s parent who we
reliably gathered was also a key player in the son’s sexual escapades.
”The
suspect confessed to have been having sexual intercourse with his
biological mother and we asked to know when it started and he said in
2013. He also claimed that the mother usually encourages him to sleep
with children of such tender age. ”Because this case involves women and
children of these age bracket, we want to transfer this case to the
Ministry of Women Affairs in the State for them to take it from there.
He sleeps with his own biological mother who is in our custody right now; and again he also told us that he is a homosexual.
He
sleeps with other male friends. From my own personal analysis, I think
he has some brain disorder”. Vanguard Metro, VM gathered that the
suspect who hailed from Amangu village in Nkpohoro Community in Afikpo
North LGA began molesting young children since 2008. He is a Senior
Secondary School, SSS, 1 student with Oziza Secondary School in Afikpo
North Local Government Area of the State.
According to the suspect,
“I’m here because of my mother; she used me for ritual. I don’t know
what I’m doing. If I see a little child I will rape her; this act
started in 2008; it is not my fault but that of my mother. I have
molested my mother and four children.
My father is late. I don’t know
myself again. I had homosexual activities with one Emmanuel three times
at Amangu in Afikpo North local government area“ Reacting, the mother
of the suspect, Mrs. Idam Augustina Josephine, 45, denied having any
sexual involvement with his son insisting that he doesn’t know what was
happening to his son.
”I am 45 years and the mother of Chibuike
Maduka; how can I teach my child to rape little children? I’m here
because my son molested some children; he is telling a lie, he never had
any sexual relationship with me”.
One of the mothers of the victim
(names withheld) who regretted the development said medical examination
had been carried out on her daughter after she discovered some strange
reactions from the victim’s private parts.
According her, the
daughter had contacted sexually transmitted disease from the suspect.
She said: “I am not happy with this act exhibited by this boy; I usually
drop my child at school and then go to work; I really don’t know how it
all happened.”
