Aidentifie­d simply as Prince a. k. a Don P, has allegedly abducted a 13- year- old girl and repeatedly defiled her for two days.

The Guardian gathered that the minor, whose whereabout­s was unknown March 18, returned two days after to accuse Don P, who is said to be in his mid- 20’ s, of abducting and forcefully having carnal knowledge of her.

The incident happened at Ogbogoro Community in Obio/ Akpor Local Council of Rivers State.

It occurred barely a month after a 12- year- old girl was abducted in same Ogbogoro and taken to an uncomplete­d building where she was repeatedly defiled by a 42- yearold man and his partners.

The culprit is currently standing trial in Rivers State family court.

The mother of the 13 - yearold child, identified simply as Ify said she sent her daughter to an errand to buy charcoal and leaves last Monday at about 5: 00p. m but she did not return.

“When I waited till 8: 00p. m. and did not see her, I became worried and started looking for her. I went to the place where they are selling leaves and charcoal, and was informed by the traders that they have not seen my daughter.

"As we continued searching for her, on Wednesday at about 12 noon, I saw my daughter running and held my son.

We asked her where she had been and why she was running, she said one brother was pursuing her.

"We asked her to take us to the place where the brother was staying. We saw the brother and he said he is the one who took and held our daughter for two days while she was on an errand. I checked my daughter as a mother, and found out that she has been deflowered,” she narrated.

Meanwhile, the National Coordinato­r of Centre for Basic Rights Protection and Accountabi­lity Campaign, Prince Wiro, who said he was contacted by the teenager’s mother, has reported the matter to Ozuoba Police Division.
