Head of Child’s Right and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN),Sam Itauma has accused a female police inspector in Rivers State, Christy Inyang Victor of abusing her 13-year-old niece.
The CRARN who disclosed this on Wednesday said the woman tortures the girl on every slight provocation but lately doused her with hot water, stripped her naked and forced her to sleep outside at night.
According to him: “We have persistently received a barrage of reports about a police officer by name Inspector Christy Inyang Victor in Ahoda Town of Rivers State who continually subjects her 13 years old niece by name Rita to a string of torture and various forms of abuses.
In this particular case, she stripped the girl naked, forced her to sleep outside as she usually does, in the wee hours of the night and bathed her with hot water after she severely battered her.
The case was reported to Divisional Police in Amoku, Rivers State where she serves but no action was taken. Instead, without minding the grievous injuries and burns she inflected on the little girl, she has continued to brutalize her at the slightest provocation.
She stopped Rita from going to school after she sat for her Junior Secondary 3 exams in 2019, albeit passing with flying colours. In order to safe the life of this little girl, we call on the Rivers State Commoner of Police to order a full-blown investigation of the matter and take appropriate action.”
