A
55-year-old retired Deputy Superintendent of Police, Christopher Archibong, has
been arrested in Calabar for allegedly defiling a 9-year-old girl.
He was
paraded yesterday by the state Commissioner of Police, Hafiz Inuwa who told
newsmen that Archibong committed the crime on May 31st, 2017 in Calabar by
luring the victim into his uncompleted building to go and park woods for him.
He
said that Archibong who was a traffic officer committed the crime on May 31st
2017, and that on June 5 2017, the girl informed her mother who reported to the
police on 7th June 2017.
The
suspect has however denied the allegation, saying, “I was set up by my close
neighbours who got jealous of me after I bought a piece of land to build my
house. I retired as a DSP in February this year. I am a law abiding
citizen of Nigeria. I did not rape the girl.”
