40 yrs old man arrested for raping a minor
The Anambra State Government has arrested a 40-year-old man, identified as Anietie Tim for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl in Onitsha.
The arrest came after the suspect had evaded operatives of the Anambra State Ministry of Women Affairs and Children’s Welfare.
Commissioner for Women Affairs, Mrs Ify Obinabo, in a statement on Thursday, April 18, 2024 said the incident happened in 2022 after which the suspect has been evading arrest through the help of some military personnel at the Barrack where he lives.
“The suspect, Anietie Tim, from Eninan AkwaIbom in his defense said he never knew his victim was an under age and went further to say that she was the one that tempted him and he responded because he’s a man with blood flowing through his veins.
Mr Tim also explained that before the incident, he was already befriending his 14 Year old victim, who, according to him, was always starved at home.
