Nigerian Police in Delta State Arrest Man for Assault on Disabled Minor

Date:

Delta State Police have arrested 32-year-old Ezekiel Elijah for allegedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old physically challenged girl in Aviara, Isoko area. Police spokesperson SP Edafe Bright announced the arrest Sunday, detailing how the suspect allegedly lured the vulnerable victim into his house.

During interrogation, Elijah claimed ignorance of the victim’s age, though police emphasized this does not constitute a valid defense. SP Bright stressed that the victim’s inability to give legal consent makes the case particularly serious under Nigerian law.

The suspect, who hails from Adjara in the Isoko region, will face defilement charges in court. Police emphasize that such cases involving minors are treated with maximum severity regardless of claimed consent.
