“The mother of the boy child aged 10 who was a former neighbour to the suspect informed me that she became aware of the incident after his son started complaining of pains in his private part and upon further question to her son, the son told her, how Pasca has been defiling him for the past six months.

“I took the children to make a formal complaint at the Nkpolu Police Division where a medical examination form has been issued to them and they have gone to the hospital.”
