A title holder in Delta State has been arrested by policemen at Umutu Police Station, Ukwuani local government area for allegedly defiling a 14-year-old girl (name withheld).
The chief from Ebedei Ukwuole purportedly raped the girl, a junior secondary school student (JSS1).
The alleged rapist, who is in his late 50s, was said to have been disturbing the victim and gave her N50 before luring her to an uncompleted building but failed in his first attempt.
