The Police in Obosi, Anambra State during the week, arrested two persons in connection with last Saturday's raping of a teenage girl (names witheld) to death at Odume Layout, Obosi in Idemili North Local Government Area of the state. The two suspects whose names are being withheld by the police are currently helping detectives to round up all the culprits, for appropriate action.
.
Sources hinted that the incident was the fourth of its kind at Odume Layout, Obosi within three months which has so far claimed two lives, hence some rapists now use the area as their safe haven for their nefarious activities. Confirming the incident, the Divisional Police Officer at Obosi, J. O. Dimale (CSP) told Crime Guard investigations into the ugly incident were in progress.He,however, declined further comments on the matter.
.
The incident, according to the source, occurred at about 9 p.m. on Saturday night when the deceased's father who was simply identified as Mr. Mbaka returned from work he sent his daughter, to go out and buy garri for their dinner.
.
It was gathered that the Mbaka family who hails from Ogboji Ezzagu in Ishielu Local Government area of Ebonyi State but residing at MINAJ village, Odume Layout, Obosi were later thrown into mourning when the deceased did not come back home as expected and they later discovered that she had been raped to death by unknown persons suspected to be artisans resident in the neighbourhood.
This is not a good one at all. Something has to be done soonest to salvage the situation!
