The Delta State Police Command has apprehended a woman who stuffed pepper and stick into the niece’s private part for allegedly stealing fish and garri.
According to reports, the incident occurred in their shared family compound in Isiokolo, Ethiope East Local Council Area on Saturday.
Mercy Oba is said to have noticed that her garri and fish were tampered with and angrily stormed the girl’s room, picked the food items and descended on her.
The cries of pain from 12-year-old Igho attracted the attention of her blind mother who pleaded with the aggressor to stop the beatings.
Despite pleas from Igho’s mother, Mercy went on to stuff her private part with pepper and a stick.
The brutalisation is reported to have damaged little girl’s hymen. The information get to a human rights activist Kelvin Ejumudo who mobilised his colleagues to the scene to rescue the victim.
According to Kelvin, “Mercy Oba is the sister to the blind woman. The blind woman’s daughter, Igho, went to her room and took garri and fish.
“When the auntie met her in the room and asked ‘why are you stealing my food? Igho said they (herself and mother) were hungry.
“She started beating the little girl. The blind mother managed to find her way down and pleaded for her to leave Igho, but she started to beat her too. The next thing, she carried the little girl to her room, put pepper in her private part and drove a stick into her vagina.
“People came and were holding her, but she threw their load outside, that they will no longer stay in the house. The next thing, she said she would kill them and nothing would happen
“I got the distress call that she’s an Igbo woman, so she feels that her juju will protect her. She felt untouchable. We swung into action and got her arrested. She was detained in our presence and medical care was given to the girl and her blind mother.”
The Delta State Police Command DSP Bright Edafe confirmed the development saying that Mercy is already in their custody.
