45yrs old man who impregnated Primary School girl; says she’s his lover

45yrs old Mr Victor Emmanuel, who was arrested for having sex with a 13yrs old girl and getting her pregnant, has insisted that he did nothing wrong.

The man who’s a tailor, described the girl as his fiancée. According to him, he was already planning to marry her and has given her parents N20,000 and drinks as part of marriage rites.

According to New Telegraph, Mr. Emmanuel was arrested by detectives attached to the Ajangbadi Police Station after the victim’s school alerted them. The police said that the suspect raped the girl and described her as a minor.

Emmanuel, an indigene of Imo State, said: “I didn’t rape her! We are in a relationship. We’re even planning to get married. We have been dating for 8 months now. The girl’s parents know me. Yes, I know she’s pregnant for me.

I have accepted the pregnancy and I’m already taking care of her. I have started the marriage rites. In fact, the girl’s parents had been collecting money from me. I have paid N20,000 to them for introduction and to buy drinks.

They have asked me to bring N100,000, out of which I have paid N64,000. The school authority said she was too young. The school authority insisted that I should come to the school. When I got to the school, I was arrested.”

The Investigating Police Officer (IPO), Sergeant Mary Ikumo, said that the victim’s parents claimed not to know or had ever set eyes on Emmanuel, alleging that their daughter, who is just in primary six, was r*ped by Emmanuel.
