One of the suspects arrested for allegedly gangraping a 20-year-old girl in Owerri, Imo state has escaped from police custody.
Investigative journalist, @PIDOMNIGERIA who broke the sad story online
over the weekend, gave the update on X this evening November 27.
According to the update, the
police in Orji police station where two out of the three suspects who raped the
victim were detained, claimed that Obinna escaped from the police cell today.
The spokesperson of the state
police command, SP Henry Okoye, confirmed the 'escape' of the suspect
identified as Ihee Andrew' and said no stone would be left unturned to ensure
the re-arrest of the Ihee and Divine who are now on the run. He added that the
DPO in charge of Orji police station has been queried over the ‘’escape'' of
the suspect.
‘’This case can never be swept
under the carpet. The case has been transferred from Orji Divisional
Headquarters to the Gender Department of the State Criminal Investigation
Department. It’s shameful and totally unacceptable that DPO Orji and his men
will allow Ihee Andrew ‘m’ aged 30 yrs, from Ahiazu Mbaise, a high profile
suspect alleged of being a serial rapist to escape from lawful.
The DPO and other officers
connected to this case have been queried and a copy has been sent to the Force
Hqtrs. Efforts are on top gear to arrest the suspects. The two suspects at
large have been declared wanted and I will share the picture here for all to
see and assist the Police in arresting them.''
