This is the third arrest of rapists in the state within the last three days, Naija442 gathered.

The third, Mr Sunday Eyim was on Tuesday arrested in Amawbia, Awka South LGA, after neighbours reported that he had canal knowledge of a four-year-old girl.
Police Public Relations Officer for Anambra State Police Command, SP Haruna Mohammed who disclosed this in a press release said Eyim was arrested a day after he lured the minor to where he lived and had canal knowledge of her.
Haruna quoted the state police commissioner, CP John B.Abang as having directed that the case be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Awka for discreet investigation after which suspect would be charged to court for prosecution.
He also called on members of the public particularly, parents/guardians to be watchful and caution their children against strangers and also encourage them to report any person making sexual advances or harassment on them to enable the parent to take proactive measures before it becomes intractable.
