Concerned Woman Demands Justice For Siblings Molested By Their Neighbour

A man identified as James Otuneruke recently was accused of allegedly abusing two sisters.

A resident of Gut village in the Rayfield area of the Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State, Jemimah Bayei, called on the state police chapter to ensure that the suspect does not go without a trial.

According to Punch, Otuneruke had been allegedly assaulting the siblings whose age are 13 and 11 for a while before been arrest last week Tuesday.

She revealed that she had the cause to approach the suspect when he noticed that the girls were sneaking into his apartment but he claimed that the used to send them on errands.

Bayei who helped in the arrest of the suspect stated that upon interrogation the girls confessed that the man had been molesting them.

Bayei accused the officers at the Anglo Jos Divisional Police Headquarters, where the matter was reported, of compromise.

She said, “I have been seeing them sneaking into the man’s apartment through the back door and I decided to follow up on what they used to go there to do; so, I asked the man if he was aware that the children used to sneak into his apartment through the back door and he said he was aware and that he used to send them on errands, but I was shocked because no shop opens till around 10pm; so, that was what raised my suspicion towards the man.”

“Over time, I have been seeing them sneaking into the man’s apartment, but because I didn’t have evidence I couldn’t just raise the alarm. On Monday night, my friend and I saw the girls entering the man’s house; the younger sister entered first, while the elder sister was outside waiting for the coast to clear before going in.”

“We were coming back from work when we saw them but I went into my apartment to drop my bag before coming out to meet them. My friend was in front, so the elder sister saw her shadow and ran into our landlord’s apartment. I followed her to ask her questions, and I also saw my landlady outside. I told her what I noticed and she said she had also noticed them going into the man’s apartment, so she sent the elder sister to go and call her younger sister and the landlady interrogated them.”

“At first, they were trying to deny it until we threatened to take them to the police station and the younger one decided to confess. She said the man used to press her breast, insert his fingers into her private parts and put his ‘nana’ in her vagina and that the first time he put his ‘nana’ in her vagina, it really pained her and she said she was going to tell her mother, but the man pleaded with her not to tell her mother and that he was going to do it in a way that it won’t pain her again.”

While speaking on the police compromise Bayei stated that the officers allegedly conspired with the suspect to pretend as if he was sick so as to take him away from the station.

She stated, “After Otuneruke was arrested, I was called from the police station that he was not feeling fine and that they didn’t want him to die in their station; so, they wanted to take him to the hospital and I told them to give me the name of the hospital and that I would come and check him there, but they said they had taken him back to the station but they might have to let him go, because they didn’t want him to die in their custody.”

“I told them that I had spoken to the Commissioner of Police and he said that if the man disappeared from their custody, there was going to be trouble; so, someone in the background said the suspect’s situation was not as bad as portrayed and that he was better now; that was when I knew that something was fishy.”

Bayei revealed that the test carried out on the younger sister revealed that she had been infected with an undisclosed sexually transmitted disease.
