The suspect was alleged to have raped the two-year-old girl while she was sleeping at the corridor of the house after she returned from school, According to The Sun.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Mr. Chris Anyanwu an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), who confirmed the incident said:
“On Monday 14th July, 2014, one Ama Inya-Okoro, 30-year old man from Ubeyi development centre in Unwana, in Afikpo Council area, was arrested for defiling little girl, Favour. The girl has been taken to hospital for treatment by his father Mr. Ude, Ebeke. The suspect confessed to the crime and will be charged to court for prosecution.
“This is another disturbing trend, the issue of rape, defilement and sex related offences.
I don’t know why we have regular occurrence in the state. The people should not leave their children especially, female ones without close watch. Just like in this case, the girl was sleeping but nobody was there with her when the suspect took the advantage and had access to the girl.
So, parents should be careful and monitor their girls and ensure that they don’t send them on errand alone to avoid such cases of rape. I urge the people to always ensure that they raise alarm whenever they see such act and report it to the nearest police station” he said.
Anyanwu also said the girl had been taken to hospital for medical examination and treatment.

The accused, Ama Inya-Okoro who admitted to raping his victim in an interview with Crime Watch gave his reason for committing the shameful act saying:
“What happened was that I went to look for job as laborer on the fateful day but could not get any job and I returned home. As I was washing my cloth I saw the girl laying down sleeping wearing only pant, I rushed and carried her and have sex with her. It was ‘conji’ that caused it and I don’t have money to go for mature girls.”
Meanwhile the victim's father, Mr. Ude Ebeke who said his daughter had gone to school before he left home that day said he was in church when he was informed of the incident by a neighbour who called him.
He, however, said his wife had travelled that day but that his sister was at home.
Apparently Miss Stella Egwu, the victim's Aunty who was at home explained what happened saying:
“I was in my place cooking when the little girl came back from school and after some time she went and slept at the corridor. As I was cooking in the kitchen I heard voice calling us to come and see the man that was raping the little girl, I came out and saw the man standing with the girl, sperm in her private. As we were talking people gathered and took the suspect to the village square where they called police”.
