A 23-year-old man, Uchenna Mbahotu, has been arrested by police operatives in Imo State for sexually assaulting two minors (names withheld).

Mbahotu was arrested in Orji in Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State.

The Imo State Police Public Relations Officer, Orlando Ikeokwu, yesterday in Owerri, said the mother of the victims’ complaint led to the arrest of the suspect.

According to the mother of the victims, the suspect took advantage of the fact that they allow the kids to get close to him as next-door neighbours to perpetrate the evil act.

However, the police said

“medical examination conducted on both children revealed that it was only one of them that was defiled.

“Meanwhile, investigation is at an advance stage and he will be charged to court after the investigation.”
