Activist Demands Prosecution of Suspect in Alleged Rape of 9-Year-Old in Sapele
Delta-based human rights activist Israel Joe is demanding immediate action after a 30-year-old man allegedly raped a nine-year-old girl in Sapele. He says the suspect, arrested on April 20, remains uncharged despite the case being reported to the Sapele Police Division. Joe accuses officers of demanding money from the victim’s single mother before proceeding. He says he escalated the matter to the Delta State Commissioner of Police, who assured him of court arraignment, but no charges have been filed. Describing the victim’s injuries as stomach-churning and life-threatening, Joe is calling on the police hierarchy to intervene and ensure the perpetrator faces the full weight of the law without further delay.
