Thursday, May 26, caught molesting a 14-year-old pupil. Below is the
post shared by Abia State Newspapers along with photos:
"The Umukam Okaiuga Nkwoegwu Autonomous Community in Ohuhu,
Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State is in deep shock
and fear arising from a bizarre incident and conduct of Chief Magistrate
Mirabel C. ken Ahukanna of the Afugiri Magistrate Court in Umuahia
North LGA.
The community in recent times has been embroiled in incidences of
indecent molestations, sexual assaults and rapes of adolescent males in
the community orchestrated by a 74 years old man, Nwoke Simeon
Ogbuehi also from the community
Luck however ran out on Ogbuehi on Thursday 26 day of May 2016 when
the youths of Okaiuga community caught him in the act forcefully
having carnal knowledge of 14 years old JS2 pupil Master Chukwuebuka
Uchendu.
The community promptly handed Ogbuehi and his victim to the police at
the divisional police station at Afugiri, who then took over the
investigation and thereafter arraigned the suspect before the Chief
Magistrate Court, Afugiri.
It was at this juncture that the matter took a bizarre turn.
When the case came up before Chief Magistrate Mirabel C. ken
Ahukanna and after querying the victim in open court who narrated his
repeated ordeals at the hands of Ogbuehi, the chief Magistrate promptly
discharged the accused on the grounds that the holding cell at Afara
prison has no space to take in further inmates and with that released a
suspected pedophile back to the community to continue his dastardly
acts.
The victims and community now lives in fear and apprehension as
Ogbuehi even within the court premises threatened to get back at the
community for exposing and humiliating him.
We call on the relevant authorities in Abia State and the office of the
Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice to quickly intervene and
arrest this ugly development before it tarnishes the image of God own
state further"
