An alleged rapist is currently on the loose and walking free after policemen attached to the Rivers State Police Command reportedly demanded money from the mother of his three-year-old victim before they could prosecute the case.

Broadcast Journalist and Host of The Daily Report, Ify Oyinkansola Onyegbule, who shared the sad incident on her Facebook timeline, the victim’s mother backed out as she had no money for the case.

Posting a picture of the said rapist, she wrote,

This man here I hear has walked free and is at large?

Please, when will the trumpet sound??
