Delta State High Court 3 sitting in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area on Friday sent A 30-year-old man, Victor Joseph, to prison for allegedly defiling a seven year old girl (name withheld).
The Court also adjourned the matter till August 19th, 2025.
The thirty-year-old had earlier confessed that he allegedly deceived and defiled a seven (7) year old girl (name withheld) because he “loved” her.
He was promptly handed over to the Police at Ugborikoko Division after much beating by neighbours.
It was learnt that the suspect committed the offence at Okuboh Street, Effurun in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
A medical report indicated that the suspect destroyed the hymen in the little girl’s vagina.
It was also gathered that the suspect had on two different occasions deceived the little girl into his apartment, tied her mouth with a cloth when her mother wasn’t around and allegedly defiled her. In this very last incident, he threatened to kill the girl if she ever told her parents.
A Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor on Human Rights, Comrade Kelvin Ejumudo, passionately followed up with a view to ensuring that the little girl gets justice.
