…as State Gov’t vows more crackdownThe Enugu State Police Command have arraigned a 42-year-old man, Edwin Eze, before a magistrate’s court for the alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl at Mburubu, Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State.
This was even as the Enugu State Government vowed more crackdown on child molesters, reiterating Governor Peter Mbah Administration’s zero tolerance for every form of child abuse, molestation and violence against women.
The suspect, Edwin Eze, was arraigned before His Worship, Chijioke Idu, of the Enugu East Magistrate Court, on Monday.
In a charge marked CMG/69c/2026, Commissioner of Police vs. Edwin Eze, the police said the defendant unlawfully had carnal knowledge of one Aniubi Ogechi, thereby committing an offence punishable under the laws of Enugu State.
Meanwhile, the Enugu State Commissioner for Children, Gender Affairs and Social Development, Mrs Ngozi Enih, has vowed that no child molester or abuser in the state would go unpunished.
