An 83-year-old man, Agaba Ada
has confessed to defiling minors in Benue State.
Ada, who hails from Ohimini Local Government Area of the state was
caught in the act on Saturday night
A source privy to the incident told us on Sunday that the
suspect had undressed a 5-year-old girl and was ‘feeding on’ her private part
when the child’s mother, Blessing Agbo, (the suspect’s neighbour) walked into
the scene.
The source said, “The mother raised the alarm and neighbours
trooped in.
“We asked the girl (names withheld) how the incident played out
and she insisted it was not the first time.
“The minor said sometimes, the suspect will call her and her
peers, make them lay on the bed and suck them one after the other. When he is
done, ‘he will turn his eyes into a ‘fore-sight’ mode and tell us never to tell
anyone.
“The girl added that sometimes, ‘the suspect will bring his cat
and warn us that if we ever disclose it to anyone, the cat will eat us up’.
“But when we asked the man, he cried and said he derives joy in
the act and it is the reason he lived this long,” the source added.
Speaking further, the source said the suspect confessed to be a
‘man of the under world’ and that his covenant was to involve in the act and he
will be rewarded with long life.
“We called the elders who summoned the suspect. We don’t have
any idea what will be done to him but this is devilish. Who knows how many more
ills he has done in our village.
“The victim pointed out the other children who the man had also
defiled and they confessed one after another”, the source added.
ThreeSixtyTidings spoke with the mother of the victim who said
she could not talk as she was still in shock.
Also, an elder in the community, David Ogbole told our
correspondent that the matter was being looked into.
He said it was a shameful act and the suspect will be dealt with
accordingly but “this is not a police case,” Ogbole added.
Meanwhile, when contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer,
PPRO, ASP Moses Yamu, told our reporter that the command was not officially
aware of the incident.
He added, “Yesterday? I haven’t got that report officially yet.
“As soon as we are informed officially, I will get back to you.”
