The boy as we learnt had been sick since the incident. The community stakeholders stepped in but he did not cooperate with them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe made effort to relocate the victim to Ntasi Sexual Assault Referral Centre, Enugwu-Ukwu for proper treatment free of charge but the family did not agree,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>While calling on relevant bodies to come to the victim\u2019s aid, the NHRC Coordinator pleaded the protection of his identity to avoid worsening the psychological effects of the incident on him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI appreciate the Police Public Relations Officer, the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Umunze and Safenest Foundation, an NGO, for their various roles leading to the arrest of violator. We pray the Police will follow up until justice is done,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Narrating her son\u2019s ordeal in a telephone interview, the mother of the victim, Mrs. Ogechi Arinze, also appealed for the law to take its course since the violator had refused to do the needful despite the community\u2019s interventions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the incident, my son had protruded anus. He lost lots of blood which had gone through blood infusion. He is still in the hospital because he runs a high temperature. All I want is justice for my son,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, a medical doctor treating the victim confirmed that there was penetration into the boy\u2019s anus, adding that he had been taken through an HIV test among other examinations.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect, a father of two, blamed the devil for the act but denied the presence of blood on the victim as the mother claimed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what came over me that day. It is up to three months now. He came to do farm work for me. So, when he entered my room to collect his wage, I grabbed him and slept with him. I regret doing that to the small boy. It was the devil,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting, Police spokesperson, Mr Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident, saying the investigation had commenced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe suspect is currently in our custody. He will be charged after investigations were concluded,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 65-year old man, Chuks Emele has been arrested for allegedly defiling an 8-year old boy at Umunze in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
