Man, 52, arrested for defiling 12-year-old in Cross River
The Cross River State Police Command have arrested a 52-year-old father of four for allegedly defiling a 12-year-old girl.
Henry Oboh was said to have dragged the victim into his room in a community known as ‘One Man’ in the Akamkpa LGA, and threatened to stab her with table knife before having carnal knowledge of her.
The suspect blamed his actions on strange forces.
“Some forces pushed me to have sex with the small child. I was not myself and how I did that I cannot explain. I never planned to have sex with her,” he said.
“Something pushed me all of a sudden and that was why I immediately surrendered myself when the police came to arrest me. I am ready to face the consequences of what I have done.I am seriously regretting what I did. I am a mechanic. I am married with four children”.
