In Rivers State, a police officer identified only as Emmanuel has been apprehended and detained following allegations of defiling a 13-year-old girl in his office at the Bori Area Command.



The arrest was made on the orders of the Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, and the officer is currently held at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department.

The victim's aunt, known as Love, narrated the incident to reporters in Port Harcourt. She revealed that she had sent the girl on an errand, and when the teenager did not return home, Love began searching for her. The girl eventually returned the next morning, and upon questioning, she disclosed a harrowing experience.


According to Love, the young girl explained that Officer Emmanuel had detained her in his office at the Bori Area Command, where he allegedly assaulted her throughout the night. The girl, fearing threats from the officer, had remained silent about the incident until she returned home.


Love expressed her concern, stating, "She told me that one police officer with two stars at the Area Command held her in his office at the Area Command, Bori, and raped her till daybreak. That he (officer) threatened to shoot her if she shouted. So because of that, she kept quiet. So when she came back, I checked her as a mother and saw that somebody had touched her."


Upon discovering the distressing situation, Love promptly reported the matter to the Bori Police Division. The girl positively identified the accused officer, and the Investigating Police Officer at the division escorted her to the hospital, where medical confirmation of penetration was obtained.


The arrest and detention of Officer Emmanuel highlight the grave issue of abuse of power and the urgent need for accountability within law enforcement agencies. The community awaits justice for the victim, and this incident underscores the ongoing efforts required to address and prevent such reprehensible actions.
