Chemist man arrested for inserting his fingers in an 8 year old girl private part.

A Pharmacist in Umueri Otuocha in Anambra state has been acccused of sexually assaulting an eight year old girl who came to him for injection and treatment. Humanrights activist, Prince Gwamnishu Harrison, shared the sad story online. The victim who narrated what transpired to him, said

"I was sick and my father (Her mother is late) sent me to buy drugs at the chemist shop and also take injection. Getting there the man raised my skirt, removed my pant and used his finger to insert into my private part. He continued until I started having pains and he stopped and warned me not to tell anybody. Getting home I told my Grandmother who reported it to my father".

Her father reported the case at Otuocha Divisioner Police station and they were asked to go for a medical examination at the Government hospital. The Doctor confirmed that the girl has been sexually abused (Medical Report Attach). The man #ONWUEGBUKA was arrested and detained in the station.

In what look like a tradition in the community (Investigation proved) the family of the suspect with the police has already pleaded with the girl father for settlement.

They had a meeting with the girl's father and agreement was reached to settle the case with N200,000 and they paid 150,000 to balance N50, 000.

The police released the suspect #Onwuegbuka with the sum of N70,000 two days after he was arrested.

Harrison said ''At the Police station yesterday, I met with the Police officers and also the victim father to know his reasons of accepting money from them. He told me he was under duress and accepted the money to enable him treat her child who couldn't sit down due to the injury she sustained and that he didn't agree for settlement. I left the community at about 5:40pm. The case will be charged to court and we will take care of her Medical treatment. Her case will end the tradition in that community that support Sexual Assault on Minors and the girl child''.

Hopefully she gets justice.
