The Enugu State Government has confirmed the arrest of Mr. Ozioma Okonkwo, a resident of Enugu State, for the alleged def!lement of his two biological daughters, aged just 2 and 5 years.
According to verified reports, the suspect was apprehended on October 25, 2025, following a tip-off from vigilant neighbors who observed disturbing behavioral changes in the children and promptly alerted authorities.
Swift action was taken by the Enugu State Ministry of Gender Affairs in collaboration with law enforcement agencies, ensuring the immediate rescue of the victims, who are now under protective custody. Medical evaluations are ongoing to determine the extent of the trauma and abuse suffered by the minors.
In an official statement, the state government condemned the act in the strongest terms, describing it as “inhuman, barbaric, and utterly unacceptable.” The government reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that justice is served without compromise, warning that crimes against children will not be tolerated under any guise.
The shocking incident has since ignited outrage across social media platforms, with Nigerians demanding stiffer penalties for sexual offenders and more robust implementation of child protection laws.
Meanwhile, the suspect remains in police custody and is expected to be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations.
