A 19-year-old boy, Felix Inia and his 16-year-old brother, Stanley are
now cooling their heels at the headquarters of the Delta State Police
Command, Asaba, for allegedly defiling their six-year-old stepsister,
Precious Kankamor. The incident, which eventually led to the death of
the victim, occurred at Ogbe-Ijoh community, Warri South Local
Government Area of the state. The suspects were said to have had carnal
knowledge of the minor by forcefully penetrating her, which led to
severe injuries in the victim’s private part.
Besides the injuries sustained after the alleged intimate abuse, little
Miss Precious later developed protruding stomach, leading to medical
complications that eventually cut short the life of the victim.
Investigation revealed that the suspects’ mother got married to the
father of the deceased after her first marriage ended with the death of
Mr. Inia. The now embattled mother moved into her new marriage with her
teenage sons, who unsuspecting, had eyes on little Miss Precious
immediately they stepped into their new home.
They allegedly carried out their ignoble mission last month when they
were left with the victim at home while others had gone out for the
day’s activities. According to a police source, the younger Inia,
Stanley, allegedly lured his elder brother, Felix, into the act. “The
younger brother said he sold the idea to his elder brother. He (Stanley)
assured his brother that there was nothing to be afraid of and that he
(Stanley) had been doing it with other children in the area,” the source
told Daily Sun. Public Relations Officer of the command, ASP Famous
Ajieh, confirmed the arrest of the suspects, adding that they would be
charged to court as soon as investigation was concluded.
Ajieh said the command was also investigating four suspects who were
arrested during a raid on suspected criminal hideouts in Kwale in which
one Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and nine live cartridges were
recovered. Besides, Ajieh stated that the command’s special patrol team
code-named Dragon 11 also attached to Kwale axis, while on routine
patrol, intercepted two men on motorcycle who had in their possession
one brownie pistol with tempered breech number. According to him, one of
the suspects, Chukwudi Nwafor has admitted ownership of the firearm,
which he claimed he bought in Jos, adding, however, that the matter was
still under investigation.
