The Edo State Police Command has arrested Mohammed Ihuenuma, a 50-year-old driver to a Special Adviser to Governor Monday Okpebholo, for allegedly sexually assaulting the governor’s aide’s 15-year-old daughter.
The arrest was confirmed by the Command's Public Relations Officer, Moses Yamu, on Thursday in Benin City. He stated that investigations are ongoing and the suspect will be charged to court upon conclusion.
The victim’s father reportedly alerted the authorities after repeated inappropriate contact by the suspect, who is said to have taken advantage of his routine visits to the home to molest the teenager. According to reports, the girl confided in her mother after enduring several incidents, leading to the father’s decision to involve the police.
