An officer of
the Police Mobile Force
identified simply as Augustine who assaulted, tied and injured an 8-year-old
girl, Amarachi Abakwuru, at their Ketu neighbourhood has since disappeared into
thin air, even as the Lagos State Police Command keep mum over the
matter. THISDAY learnt that the victim was lured into the suspect’s house about
8pm on Thursday
Barely managing to
speak from her parched throat, the victim, who was saved by her sheer grit and
brilliance, said she never saw what was
coming till it happened.She said.....
“Mopol had sent me to
buy bean cake for him earlier on which I did. Later, as I wanted to go into our
apartment and sleep, he dragged me into his room. Then I heard my father
calling my name and I told him to allow me go answer him.Mopol told me to shut
up my mouth and the next thing, he covered my mouth with his hand and tied it
with a cloth. He also tied my neck and my hands. He then used a sharp iron and
hit me on the head. I started bleeding but I could not shout because he tied my
mouth.
When he heard my
parents looking and shouting for me, he pushed me under his bed. Later, he
locked the door and left me under the bed bleeding. I could hear my parents
shouting my name but I couldn’t do anything.
