Woman In Police Net For Using Seven-Year-Old Granddaughter As Sex Slave
An elderly mother has been arrested by the Enugu State Police Command for reportedly selling her seven-year-old granddaughter as a sex slave and receiving the money.
The woman, whose identity has been withheld for the sake of the investigation, was originally apprehended by Ugwuagor vigilantes in the Abakpa community of the state’s Enugu East Local Government Area.
The victim told the vigilantes how her grandma had sent her to numerous guys who had carnal knowledge of her.
Another male suspect, named only as Miracle, was apprehended in Calabar, Cross River State, and was one of those who had sexual intercourse with the young girl. Other abusers are still being sought by the police.
“This brother, (referring to Mr. Miracle) if I come to his shop, he will insert his private part in my body. He does this almost every day with the knowledge of my grandmother.
“There’s another brother I don’t know where he lives, after putting his private part in my body yesterday, he gave my grandmother N1,500,” the girl tearfully narrated.
Her mother, according to the victim, remained in Lagos.
The case is being examined by the division, according to the Abakpa Police Station Divisional Officer, and they will take further action once their investigation is completed.
