Emma Ukwa, a 60-year-old man, has been arrested.
The man was arrested by a vigilance group at Amaekpu Ohafia, in the
Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State for allegedly r*ping and
killing a 36-year-old woman.
According to Punch Metro, a source revealed that Ukwa, who r*ped
his victim, identified only as Josephine, in a farm in the area on
Friday, allegedly mocked the woman for being a virgin after defiling
her.
The source said, “Ukwa confessed to have developed a lust for the lady after seeing her half naked while taking her bath in the village stream.
“Ukwa said he only wanted to have sex with the victim, but later killed her when she insisted that she would expose him.”
It was gathered that Ukwa was exposed when a friend of the deceased
went to the farm to find out what kept her back for a long time, but
found her lifeless body there.
“The friend had met Ukwa on the way before seeing the victim’s
corpse. She came back and raised the alarm, prompting the Amaekpu Ohafia
Vigilance Group to arrest Ukwa,” the source added.
The Chairman of the vigilance group, Mr. Godwin Anya, said women of
the community had staged a peaceful protest to condemn the act.
“The suspect has been handed over to the police,” he added
Efforts made to contact the state Police Public Relations Officer,
ASP Nta Ogbonaya, proved abortive as calls put across to his mobile
phone indicated that it was not reachable as of press time.
