The Police Command in Delta has confirmed the arrest of a medical professional, Dr Christian Osakwe, for alleged rape of his housemaid in Asaba.<\/p>\n\n\n
The command\u2019s spokesperson, DSP Bright Edafe, told journalists on Tuesday in Asaba that Osakwe was arrested and detained in custody after the police received a formal complaint on the allegation.<\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cThe suspect is currently (sic) in police custody at the SCID, and we have commenced investigation into the allegation.<\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cI can assure you that once investigation is concluded, the suspect will be arraigned,\u201d Edafe said.<\/p>\n\n\n
A humam right activist, Mr Harrison Gwamnishu, who lodged the complaint before the police, told journalists in Asaba that the suspect allegedly offered him N1 million to drop the case.<\/p>\n\n\n
He said the suspect was the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of Excel Victory Hospital and Maternity Home, located on Kings Street, Umuaji Quaters, Asaba.<\/p>\n\n\n
According to Gwamnishu, Osakwe was being accused of raping his housemaid and also a niece to his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cThe medical doctor, in disguise of checking the victim\u2019s virginity, allegedly defiled a 15 year old maid living with him.<\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cAlso, in a video from our private investigation, we discovered he also sexually harassed his wife\u2019s niece.<\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cHe initially denied all the allegations but later owned up when we confronted him with evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cHe offered to pay us one million naira to drop the matter, but we declined.<\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cHowever, we succeeded in handing the suspect and the N1 million to the police for further investigation,\u201d Gwamnishu said.<\/p>\n\n\n
