Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Anambra State Command, on Thursday, said it arrested a 48-year old plumber, Mr Thomas Igbo, for allegedly defiling his three underaged daughters.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that the daughters, whose ages were given as eight, three, and one and half years, were sexually molested by their father, who claimed he was drunk.
The State Commandant, Mr David Bille, who disclosed this in a statement in Awka, said that: “When we got the report, we swung into action, arrested one Thomas Igbo, a plumber residing in Enugwu-Ukwu town in Njikoka Local Government Area of the state but from Okolo Ani Village, Igbo Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State.
“Our medical personnel later conducted a test and uncovered that the children were being abused sexually. The suspect confessed to the crime and very soon, we will conclude investigations and arraign him,” Billie added.
According to the statement, Igbo, in his confessional statement, said that he only had carnal knowledge of the eight-year-old daughter once and used his fingers to penetrate others at different times.
“I had sex once with my eight years old daughter once, others I only used my fingers to penetrate their private parts when I am bathing them,” he said.
