All I want to hear now is his arraignmen­t and subsequent prosecutio­n. I hope that he gets the maximum sentence.

He shouldn’t be the only one to be dismissed. His colleagues who watched over the girl for him should be charged as well because they assisted a rapist to pertrate a crime against a minor.

This incident is very unfortunat­e. Even if a man does not have a wife, he is expected to have self-control. It is really sad that despite the fact that the policeman has two wives, he still raped a 14-year-old girl. May God continue to expose the bad people among us. People should try to control their desires. What the policeman did was irresponsi­ble. Action should be taken on this matter immediatel­y to avoid cover-up.

All I want is for justice to be done in this matter. The culprit must be punished adequately to serve as a deterrent to others.

The offence he committed has nothing to do with the number of wives he has. What we want to hear now is that his trial has commenced. He should be seriously dealt with. This girl may not even be his first victim. The man should be executed by hanging.

The suspect is indeed a disgrace to the Police Force and must be made to face the full wrath of the law.

The matter should be thoroughly investigat­ed. This may not be the first time the policeman is committing such a crime.
