CP orders withdrawal of case involving man accused of defiling 4-year-old girl
A twist has occurred in the case of a 46-year-old male school proprietor accused of defiling his 4-year-old pupil in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Wale Abass, has ordered the withdrawal of the case from court for further investigation, as revealed by the spokesperson of the Delta State Police Command, Bright Edafe, who spoke on behalf of the Commissioner.
Commissioner Abass explained the reason behind the withdrawal: “The Command is aware of a viral publication posted on various social media handles on the alleged defilement of a four-year- old child (Name withheld) by one Innocent Ezeukwu 46, the proprietor of the Great Leader International school where the child is schooling.
“On October 5, 2023, one Mrs. Joy Chukwudi reported that while she was bathing her four-year-old daughter, she discovered a blood stain in the private part of her daughter.

“Upon questioning, her daughter kept stating that “her uncle used school scissors to cut her private part”.
“The area commander, Agbor, detailed a team of investigators to proceed to the scene of the alleged crime and the suspect, Innocent Ezeukwu, who doubles as the owner of the school and also the only male teacher in the school was arrested.
“Preliminary investigation led to the issuance of a medical report, and the initiation of an identification parade exercise where the suspect, Innocent Ezeukwu, when placed amongst random men, was identified by the victim as the person who allegedly defiled her.
“The medical report affirmed that there was “no hymen visualized” in the victim’s private part.”
Edafe further elaborated that despite the Area Command in Agbor having completed their investigation and charged the case to court, Commissioner CP Wale Abass directed that the case be withdrawn and transferred to the State Criminal and Investigation Department (SCID) for further inquiry.
Edafe also conveyed the Commissioner’s message of reassurance to the public, particularly the victim’s family, that justice would be served in this matter.
