He said, “The chief has four wives and many children. From the girl’s statement, the chief has allegedly raped her twice.

“Chief Oshiji lives close to the girl’s family house and has been taking advantage of the girl. He has been raping her in an uncompleted building.

“She said the chief threatened to kill her if she tells anybody but the third attempt was what exposed him after he allegedly forced her to take drugs.”

The victim was said to be bleeding excessively before she confessed to her mother, leading to the suspect’s arrest.

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bright Edafe, confirmed the arrest on Thursday.

“Yes, he has been arrested and he is currently in the custody of police and the investigation is ongoing,” Edafe said.
