The Rivers State Police Command has arrested a bouncer at a nightclub, identified only as Obidiah for allegedly defiling a 13-year-old girl.
NIGERIACRIME gathered that the incident happened at Ojike Street, in the Mile 1 axis of the Diobu community, in the Port Harcourt area of the state.
According to a soure, Obidiah, before committing the crime sent the minor on an errand to purchase airtime for him.
Upon the victim’s return, the bouncer told her to bring the recharge card into the room.
“Immediately she entered the room and gave the recharge card to Obidiah, he locked the door, increased the volume of his radio set and that was how he had carnal knowledge of her,” the source said.
A co-tenant who noticed that the minor took time before coming out of the room, queried her, leading to her explanation of what transpired inside.
The source said, “So, the girl now narrated to the co-tenant of the suspect what transpired and he, in turn, alerted the Mile 1 Police Division. So policemen came and arrested him on Sunday.”
Contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko while confirming the incident, said the suspect had been arrested, adding that a preliminary investigation by the police showed that the suspect penetrated the girl.

“The command is aware of the incident, and the suspect has been arrested as we speak. The matter has been transferred from the Mile 1 Police Division to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department in Port Harcourt for discreet investigation,” the PPRO said.
Meanwhile, the Federal Capital Territory Police Command has confirmed the recovery of a N55 million Mercedes Benz GLB 250 stolen by a prospective buyer.
NIGERIACRIME earlier reported how a car dealer, Mohammed Manga raised the alarm that a suspect identified simply as Henry, who disguised as a customer, absconded with the vehicle while testing it in the FCT.
Mohammed said one of his friends who is also a car dealer took the Mercedes Benz to a prospective buyer (Henry) for sale but trouble started when Henry begged to test-run the car after the price was settled at N55 million.
He, however, zoomed off with the car and has not been found since.
The FCT command subsequently declared Henry wanted.
The command spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh said on Wednesday night that the car has been recovered in Delta State.
According to her, the recovery of the stolen vehicle by the Delta State Command “is an indication of the collaborative efforts of the Police across board”.
“The FCT Command had earlier initiated a discrete investigation into the incident, and alerted other Commands which led to the recovery of the vehicle”, she added.
