A woman and her 8-year-old daughter have reportedly tested positive for HIV after her boyfriend Jude Chinedu, also known as Ijiegbe, allegedly raped a minor at their home in Delta state.
It was gathered that the incident took place in Alegbor Municipality, Uvwie LGA State
. The copies of the medical examination showed that a woman and her daughter were infected with this terrible disease.
A source familiar with the incident said: “The suspect, a married man, fled the area.
“The suspect is this woman’s boyfriend and was crouching with her and her daughter. He had a sexual relationship with a little girl.
“Police have organized a manhunt for a suspect from Anambra State.
“Every time the woman who sells pap goes hawking, the boyfriend bathes the girl and goes to bed with her. He usually threatened to kill her if she told anyone.
“The mother noticed sudden changes in the child’s behaviour and a foul-smelling discharge from her body, and after several interrogations, revealed that the suspect had repeatedly raped her, and when the woman confronted the suspect, he ran away from home.”‘
.
However, human rights activist Comrade Kelvin Ejumudo alerted the Ebrumede Police Department after the matter was brought to their attention.
The activist and the police took the girl for a medical examination, which determined that she had been exposed to the HIV virus. The same test was performed on the mother, who also tested positive.
Comrade Ejumudo said: “The police searched for the suspect’s number. He was nearly arrested on Thursday but managed to escape into the bush.”
