A man identified as Chidi Nkire has defiled three of his underage children at their residence in the Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State.

His words: “We got an intelligence report that an individual was perpetrating such an ugly act and we immediately swung into action that day. Unfortunately, the man absconded to a neighbouring community, but he was later traced to where he was hiding in Osisioma Ngwa local government.

“He started this activity last year. He had issues with their mum and chased her out of their matrimonial home. Following their separation, he forcefully slept with his children. He threatened them, threatened their lives. At a point, he starved the children till they agreed to sleep with him. The fact is that the man is cooperating. He has not in any way denied any of the acts to date.”

Ogidinta added that the case which was reported at the police station in the area, had now been transferred to the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID) in the Umuahia area of Abia State
