The Rivers State Police Command says it has arrested a 16-year-old boy who allegedly defiled his 11-year-old female schoolmate in the school premises at Rumukwurusi in Rivers.
It was gathered that his friends watched as he pushed down the girl from behind and had his way in the school premises, he escaped through the fence afterwards but was later held by the school authorities, while the girl was taken to an unnamed hospital for treatment.
The report sparked outrage as photos of the schoolgirl bleeding profusely circulated online.
The mother of the victim, while speaking to a radio station (Nigeria Info) in Port Harcourt, she said;
“The school should provide the boy that did that thing and I want justice for my daughter. I’m a widow and I don’t have anybody. It is just me and my children. They should provide the boy. He should not go free at all because maybe he has been doing it to other people, but he will not go free this time. And I want people to help me.”
“I got a call from the school that I should come because it was an emergency. I had to rush to the school. When I got there, I saw my daughter bleeding seriously. The bleeding was too much.
“I had to secure my daughter first by bringing her to the hospital while the boy was still in the school custody. They said they would hold the boy for me. The doctors have not said anything yet. They are just taking care of her at the moment, but the situation is still like that, no improvement and the money is expensive.”
She further said her daughter lost so much blood from the incident.
The spokesperson for the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, when contacted, confirmed the incident, saying the male student has been arrested, while investigation is ongoing.
He said that the boy has been arrested and the matter has been transferred to the State Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department and the outcome of the investigation would be made known subsequently.
