Monday, May 19, 2025 - A man has been arrested for defiling his 14-year-old niece
inside a local boat at the slaughter axis of Swali Market in Yenagoa, the
Bayelsa State capital, on Sunday, May 18.
Reports from residents of the area say the little girl was
sent to the Swali market by her mother to meet her uncle who manages a wooden
local boat at the waterside to collect snails from the river.
Sadly, when the girl who was a virgin got on the boat, her
uncle forced himself on the girl and deflowered her. The market security agents
got wind of the incident and arrested the man.
When apprehended, he confessed to the crime and pleaded for
mercy after he was stripped, tied with his hands behind and beaten with a cane.
Narrating the incident, a market woman who first confronted
the man, said that she met the young girl crying bitterly and when she asked
her why she was crying, she said her mother sent her to the uncle to pick up
snail for her but the man raped her.
“I met the
girl on the road and she was crying bitterly and when I asked her why she’s
crying, she told me that her uncle r@ped her. She said her mother sent her to
her uncle to pick up a snail.
She even
pleaded with the uncle that she’s still a virgin, but the man didn’t listen and
still went ahead to defile her. This man is a wicked uncle; he has been doing
it to other innocent girls in the area, but this one, he will never escape it;
he must face the wrath of the law.” she said
The suspect has since been handed over to the Bayelsa State Police Command.
