Rivers State - 30-yr-old man in prison for raping neighbour's 5-yr-old child

 

The Rivers State Police Command has arrested and charged to court a 30-year-old man, McCarthy Kuyemekume, for allegedly raping his neighbour's five-year-old daughter.

Southern News reports that Kuyemekume, a resident of Saviour’s Estate, Nkpor Village, Rumuolumeni area of the state, had allegedly lured the toddler into his room after sending her older brother on an errand and defiled her.

It was gathered that after raping the little girl, Kuyemekume warned her never to tell anyone or he would kill her but when the girl got home, she told her mother what Uncle Kuyemekume had done to her leading to the woman reporting the matter to the police who arrested him.

After he was arraigned in a Magistrates' Court in Port Harcourt, the state capital, the suspect was promptly ordered to be remanded in prison custody pending the determination of his case while the file was sent to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), for advice.
