The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the arrest of one Sunday Sampson who allegedly impregnated and murdered a teenage girl in Akwa Ibom State.
Sampson reportedly impregnated a 13-year-old girl and secretly moved to abort the pregnancy, leading to her death in the process.
Spokesperson for the Akwa Ibom State Police Command, Odiko MacDon, who confirmed this in a statement made available to journalists on Thursday in Uyo, said the command also arrested three suspects in connection with the invasion and robbery at the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) lodge, Uyo in July this year.
"One Sunday George Sampson has been arrested by the Nsit Ubium division of the Akwa Ibom State Police Command. The suspect impregnated a 13-year- old girl- child and secretly procured an abortion for her and she died in the process.
"The Commissioner of Police is miffed at this development and has asked that the matter be transferred to the homicide section for discreet investigation.
"He has however called on parents to create time and pay more attention to the whereabouts and behaviour of their children to prevent sexual abuse and social vices.
"Recall that sometime ago, on the 6th of July 2022, at about 01:30am to be precise, suspected armed robbers, invaded the NYSC lodge, located at Udo Ekong Street, off information Drive in Uyo LGA, damaged the doors of the partially fenced building and dispossessed corps members of their phones, jeweries, physical cash and other valuables.
"The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Olatoye Durosinmi, who personally visited the scene in company of the state NYSC Coordinator had vowed to bring the perpetrators to book and has since then remained committed," he said.
The statement added that the police also arrested a gang terrorising Aka community and environs in the heart of Uyo, the state capital.
"In a meticulous investigation, the Anti-Robbery Squad of the command arrested the following Suspects who have been on the run and responsible for terrorizing Aka Community and environs; Aniefiork Okon Willie a.k.a 'Akpan Efa', Iniobong Okon Eden, a.k.a 'Orok' and Joshua Bassey Asuquo, a.k.a 'Sim Card' or 'immortal'.
"Suspects confessed to be responsible for the said robbery, made many stunning revelations including their membership of confraternity, mentioned other members of their gang now at large. The CP has vowed to continue the trail until all those responsible are fished out," the statement concluded.
