THIS is an incident that shouldn’t have happened, a tale that mustn’t be told, and a situation that a moral mind cannot fathom, yet, it was allegedly perpetuated by one Chibuike Maduka, 17, at Ndibe in Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

This revelation was made possible through the arrest of the suspect by men of the State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, on Monday February 10, 2014. The suspect was alleged to have molested four children and his biological mother, Mrs. Idam Augustina Josephine.

The NSCDC in Ebonyi State on Tuesday, paraded the serial rapist and homosexual who allegedly derives fun in molesting young children of different parents in his community.

The suspect who blamed his strange sexual escapades on his mother, confessed to have had sexual intercourse with her (mother) on several occasions. He claimed that he doesn’t know what usually induces him to made love with children in the area.

Parading the suspect at the Command’s headquarters in Abakaliki, the State Commandant of NSCDC, Mrs. Ego Echendu stated that the suspect was rounded off after a tip- off by an informant in the area. She explained that the suspect had in confessional statement disclosed that he had sexual intercourse with his own mother on several occasions.

”We got a tip off from our informant and sent some of our men to follow up the information concerning an adolescent male who has been in the business of molesting children in their tender age.

That kind of act baffled me and so we continued to monitor the suspect and fortunately at about 3pm yesterday, our divisional office at Afikpo North Local Government Area were able to round off the suspect and the victims, and their parents; and also the suspect’s parent who we reliably gathered was also a key player in the son’s sexual escapades.

”The suspect confessed to have been having sexual intercourse with his biological mother and we asked to know when it started and he said in 2013. He also claimed that the mother usually encourages him to sleep with children of such tender age. ”Because this case involves women and children of these age bracket, we want to transfer this case to the Ministry of Women Affairs in the State for them to take it from there.
He sleeps with his own biological mother who is in our custody right now; and again he also told us that he is a homosexual.

He sleeps with other male friends. From my own personal analysis, I think he has some brain disorder”. Vanguard Metro, VM gathered that the suspect who hailed from Amangu village in Nkpohoro Community in Afikpo North LGA began molesting young children since 2008. He is a Senior Secondary School, SSS, 1 student with Oziza Secondary School in Afikpo North Local Government Area of the State.

According to the suspect, “I’m here because of my mother; she used me for ritual. I don’t know what I’m doing. If I see a little child I will rape her; this act started in 2008; it is not my fault but that of my mother. I have molested my mother and four children.

My father is late. I don’t know myself again. I had homosexual activities with one Emmanuel three times at Amangu in Afikpo North local government area“ Reacting, the mother of the suspect, Mrs. Idam Augustina Josephine, 45, denied having any sexual involvement with his son insisting that he doesn’t know what was happening to his son.

”I am 45 years and the mother of Chibuike Maduka; how can I teach my child to rape little children? I’m here because my son molested some children; he is telling a lie, he never had any sexual relationship with me”.

One of the mothers of the victim (names withheld) who regretted the development said medical examination had been carried out on her daughter after she discovered some strange reactions from the victim’s private parts.
