The Enugu State Government has confirmed the arrest of one Ozioma Okonkwo for allegedly defiling his two biological daughters, aged two and five.

Okonkwo, who is a native of Imo State residing in Enugu, was arrested on the night of Saturday, October 25, 2025, after a concerned citizen alerted authorities about the disturbing incident.

This was contained in a statement issued by the state Ministry of Children, Gender Affairs, and Social Development on Sunday.

According to the statement, the suspect is in police custody and will be charged in court once investigations are concluded.

The ministry also revealed that the two children have been admitted into a government-approved shelter, where they are receiving medical care and psychosocial support.

Their mother, described as deeply traumatised, will also undergo therapy under the supervision of the ministry’s social welfare and counselling team.

“The Enugu State Government commends the Nigeria Police Force for their swift and professional response, which led to the prompt arrest of the suspect,” the statement read.

Reaffirming its zero-tolerance policy on sexual and gender-based violence, the ministry warned that all offenders would face the full weight of the law.

The ministry also condemned the act, calling it “a heart-wrenching and unacceptable crime against innocence.”

The statement reads, “The Enugu State Government under the leadership of Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, remains unwavering in its commitment to protect every child and ensure that perpetrators of such evil acts are brought to justice.

“No child should ever have to endure such trauma, especially from those meant to provide care and protection.”

The government also thanked citizens for their vigilance and cooperation, urging continued support in efforts to safeguard the rights and dignity of women and children across the state.

In 2022, a father, Michake Ogbar, was sentenced to triple life imprisonment for defiling and raping his three daughters of age 10, 20, and 24 years.

Ogbar faced three counts bordering on defilement and rape, offences which violate Sections 137 and 258(1) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

I completely agree with u on this. Like, how possible is it to even penetrate a 2 years old child? Imagine trying to disvirgin a girl who's around 19-20 years old, how difficult people have reported it to be, talk more of a child of that age. Sometimes I feel even if they're accusing these men, they should make it clear enough if the men used their hands rather than their dicks cos to me, it is totally impossible.
