Favour Ilo, a 5-year-old girl in kindergarten and daughter of a carpenter and akara seller was raped in school by the Headmistress' grown son in Awka, Anambra State on Monday, June 5th.
The suspect's mother, Mrs Onwuzulike allegedly wants to close the case by offering N100, 000 to the victim's parents. Below is the full report by lawyer and human rights activist, Emeka Ugwuonye:
RAPE OF A 5-YEAR OLD BEING COVERED WITH MONEY
DPA has just stopped an attempt to bury the case of the rape of a 5-year old girl in kindergarten in Awka, Anambra State.
Yesterday, DPA got involved in the investigation of a rape case involving a 5-year old girl. We got the wind that the father of the girl was offered 100k by the owners of the kindergaton where the incident occurred in order for him to bury the case. I warned the man not to accept the money, but to work with DPA to ensure the arrest of the rapist.
At the same time, DPA dispatched a team of investigators to the crime scene. Our investigators swooped in on them as they were exchanging money to cover up the case. They even wrote up an agreement to close the case . DPA operatives took pictures of their illegal agreement and pictures of them exchanging money.
We shall now be seeking the arrest and prosecution of all those involved in this macabre deal. We have the picture of the girl and her father and the owner of the kindergarten handing over money to him.
DPA is going to crack down on all those who harm innocent children in this country. The rape of a 5- year old and the use of money to cover it up are crimes we must fight against. I will be heading from Abuja straight to Anambra State where I intend to meet with the Governor over this case.
NOTE:
Point of clarification. We knew they made the offer of money. We needed the evidence. So DPA set up the plan to capture the evidence of their plan. We needed those who made the offer to put it in writing to remove their plan from the point of deniability.

When it is safe to do So, I may reveal the names of the DPA operatives who carried out this operation, Operation Young Shall Grow.

I am sure you are not the 5 year innocent soul that was raped. If you are in need, why are you buying data plan to access Internet??? Is that your priority? Let good and compassionate people offer their help to others without asking for anything in return. This situation is NOT a funny one that you should ridicule. This is the life of an innocent fold that has not even started to see the world yet.

ReplyDeleteWhat a mother and we all wonder why the society has turned out so bad in the last 10-15 years.
ReplyDeleteThey should slam a charge on her alongside her useless itchy dick son and shut down that hellhole she calls a school. Obviously the children there are not safe.
Chinyere they are your people
DeleteAnonymous dies that matter???? We should condemn the person not the tribe. This is why Nigeria can never move forward. Na wa ohhh.
DeleteLinda so you hid names of the DPA operatives but didn't think it sensible to hide the name of the victim the little 5 year old girl . What if the community stigmatises her for the rest of her life ????!!! Please remove her name promptly and even the suspects name as it's an allegation .
ReplyDelete*** apologies to you if you didn't use their real names or used fake names for purpose of the report
Confidence essien, if every bad news is attributed to the igbos then what do say about your backward calabar pple that kill innocent children on daily basis in the name of witchcraft. You are so daft.
ReplyDeleteJUS NEGODU THIS KAIN
ReplyDelete-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteThe kind of comments people put up is alarming, slamming each other cos of tribal differences. This case is more of a personality psychological disorder and not because of tribal or religious differences and you guyz already know how such cases in this country ends after all this hullabaluhoo...... It'll be over by tomorrow!
ReplyDeletechaiiiii wat a pity 4 dis young girl buh i blame her parents by collcting that money.infat 100k is too small!!infat can 100k bring back her virginity???? bro tk sence
ReplyDeleteBLOOD MONEY! That child's innocence was bought with how much??? That child will be traumatized for the rest of her life. Yet her parents received N100,000 to keep quiet? OMA SE OH!
ReplyDeleteGod will forbid such a thing happening to me, AH! Gbogbo aiye loma gbo!
No one has even said if the girl went to be checked if she is ok even just physically that there's no on going complications to her let alone what she emotionally will go through

ReplyDeleteHow did u manage to pass tru school? As in how did you pass exams without reading the questions????
DeleteIt must have been expo you used. Bcos if you read the article, you would have seen that it was all a plan to catch the criminals in the act.
Why show the picture of the girl?? Why why? people in Awka read this blog. This will stigmatize her for life.
ReplyDeleteNo no, Linda you are wrong for this. Please remove her picture
So daft indeed! Confidence Essien or what ever you call yourself, it is people like you that brings problems in this country. What the hell are u talking about? You are so stupid & foolish for saying that " every bad news is attributed to the Igbos" come to think of it, worse things happen in other tribes, both seen & unseen, so why say the rubbish about the igbos? Am very sure you were delivered from witchcraft, that is why you have the audacity to come here & rant. Please, leave the igbos alone & keep praying for your people that believes almost all the children in calabar are witches & wizards. Onye iberibe!!!
ReplyDeleteU pppl should read d part dat said d girl's father accepted the money be cos he is working with d DPA and they needed evidence. So don't crucify d man. It's dat headmistress dat I can't believe her actions. What a mother.
ReplyDeleteDon't you pple understand English, the lawyer is aware they offer money to the family through the family themselves, he needed evidence to nail those bastards, so the family has to play along.
ReplyDeleteMy prayer is that they jail those idiot, the women among them most pass through what that little girl pass through severally, they will never know peace forever. And the men, another man will rape them. And for contemplating bribing the family because they are poor, money will be their worst enemy for all of the, with their eye they see money but can never handle money again. I rest my case
Her school should be closed down,cos the children there are not safe. Imagine covering up for the son,they can do anything. Justice must take its full course.
ReplyDeleteThe father didn't collect any money,it was a planned deal wit DPA operatives to have enough proof to prosecute d proprietress. D pictures were taken by them without d woman's knowledge.
ReplyDeleteThe headmistress & her son will die in jail
ReplyDeleteShe's not the first girl that bastard has raped, I'm sure he's been doing it and only just got caught.
