Six men have been taken into custody by the Akwa Ibom State Police Command in relation to the alleged gang-rape of a 13-year-old child.

After the offenders were apprehended, Azare added, the victim was saved.
“On 8th January 2025, based on information received from concerned journalists, a 13-year-old child reported being raped repeatedly for about three years by about four different men (s0domy), the operatives of the Command swung into action immediately and arrested one Okwudili Levi Okeke AKA Eze ‘m’ (aged 34 years), Idara Itam Daniel ‘m’ (aged 23 years), David Udoh James ‘m’ (aged 23 years), Udofia Edem Udosen ‘m’ (aged 29 years), David Bassey Bassey ‘m’ (aged 26 years), and Daniel Jacob Edet ‘m’ (aged 30 years),” the CP stated.
