In the Cross River state of Nigeria, a community known as ‘One Man’ under the local government of Akakpa, a 52-year-old man, I identified as Henry Oboh has been arrested by Cross River State Police Command for purportedly defiled a 12-year-old girl known as Faith Sunday.

According to Henry, he dragged the victim into his room and threatened to stab her with a table knife before having carnal knowledge of her, adding that some spiritual forces led him into committing the crime.

He said, “some forces pushed me to have sex with the small child. I was not myself and how I did that I cannot explain. I never planned to have it with her. Something pushed me all of a sudden and that was why I immediately surrendered myself when the police came to arrest me.
