74-Year-Old Man Caught Molesting A 14-Year-Old Boy In Umuahia (Photos)

 

A 74-year-old man identified as Nwoke Simeon Ogbuehi was on Thursday, May 26, caught molesting a 14-year-old pupil. Below is the post shared by Abia State Newspapers along with photos:

“The Umukam Okaiuga Nkwoegwu Autonomous Community in Ohuhu, Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State is in deep shock and fear arising from a bizarre incident and conduct of Chief Magistrate Mirabel C. ken Ahukanna of the Afugiri Magistrate Court in Umuahia North LGA.

The community in recent times has been embroiled in incidences of indecent molestations, sexual assaults and rapes of adolescent males in the community orchestrated by a 74 years old man, Nwoke Simeon Ogbuehi also from the community

Luck however ran out on Ogbuehi on Thursday 26 day of May 2016 when the youths of Okaiuga community caught him in the act forcefully having carnal knowledge of 14 years old JS2 pupil Master Chukwuebuka Uchendu.

The community promptly handed Ogbuehi and his victim to the police at the divisional police station at Afugiri, who then took over the investigation and thereafter arraigned the suspect before the Chief Magistrate Court, Afugiri.

It was at this juncture that the matter took a bizarre turn.

When the case came up before Chief Magistrate Mirabel C. ken Ahukanna and after querying the victim in open court who narrated his repeated ordeals at the hands of Ogbuehi, the chief Magistrate promptly discharged the accused on the grounds that the holding cell at Afara prison has no space to take in further inmates and with that released a suspected pedophile back to the community to continue his dastardly acts.

The victims and community now lives in fear and apprehension as Ogbuehi even within the court premises threatened to get back at the community for exposing and humiliating him.

We call on the relevant authorities in Abia State and the office of the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice to quickly intervene and arrest this ugly development before it tarnishes the image of God own state further”

OVIE OKPARE, WARRI The umbrella body for Ijaw youths, Ijaw Youth Council has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to act on his appeals to Niger Delta militants to halt hostilities by personally kick-starting the dialogue process with stakeholders in the region. A statement signed by the spokesman for the group, Eric Omare, on Sunday, stressed that only a genuine and serious engagement with Niger Delta people would address the recurring agitation from the people.

It maintained that for a lasting peace to be achieved in the region, President Buhari must been seen leading such discussion, citing instance of his predecessors rather than sending surrogate to negotiate on his behalf. The IYC statement read, “Th...
