Franklin Njoku, pictured above, a Senior School Certificate Examination
candidate who rented a room in a house belonging to one Mr Eze, is
currently in police custody after he lured his landlord's four-year-old
daughter into the bush, defiled the little girl, murdered her then
hanged her on a dwarf palm tree near their house. Nigerian Tribune
reports that Franklin Njoku, aged 18 years from Ohekelem in Ngorokpala
Local Government Area of the state was in Uvuru community to sit for the
ongoing West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) at Aboh Mbaise Secondary
School, Uvuru.
Since Njoku’s village is quite a distance from Uvuru, his parents decided to rent a room to reduce the stress of having to commute between the two
communities on a daily basis. Njoku was able to secure accommodation in
Eze’s compound. The Ezes received Njoku with open hands as one of their
tenants. He became close to all members of the family, including the
late 4 year old Gloria.
The Edo State Police Command has paraded a 47 year old alleged Deeper Life Pastor, Eze Fidelis, who was arrested for having sexual intercourse with two eleven year-old girls. 32 other suspects were also paraded for various offences. Parading the suspects before journalists, the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Folusho Adebanjo disclosed that among the 32 suspected criminals were four men who were paraded for defilement of underage girls.
