Enugu State Government, through the Office of the Honourable Commissioner for Children, Gender Affairs and Social Development, has confirmed the arrest of Mr. Ozioma Okonkwo, a native of Imo State residing in Enugu, for allegedly defiling his two biological daughters aged 2 and 5 years respectively.
Mr. Okonkwo was apprehended on the night of Saturday, October 25, following a distress report from a concerned and patriotic citizen who promptly alerted the authorities.
The suspect is currently in police custody and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
Meanwhile, the two children have been admitted into a government-approved shelter under the Ministry, where they are receiving medical care and psychosocial support.
Their mother, who is deeply traumatized by the incident, will commence therapy under the supervision of the Ministry’s social welfare and counseling team.
The Enugu State Government commends the Nigeria Police Force for their swift and professional response, which led to the prompt arrest of the suspect. The Government reiterates its zero-tolerance policy on sexual and gender-based violence, assuring the public that all offenders will face the full weight of the law.
Speaking on the incident, the Commissioner for Children, Gender Affairs and Social Development condemned the act in strong terms, describing it as “a heart-wrenching and unacceptable crime against innocence.”
