Vigilante Group Rescues Girl, 13, In Bayelsa Hotel

Members of the Bayelsa State Vigilante Service have rescued a 13-year-old girl identified as Favour Doumo who was locked in a hotel and sexually abused at gunpoint by a suspected cultist in Tombia area of the state capital, Yenagoa.
The chairman of the vigilante outfit, Hon. Doubiye Alagba, who led members of his team on the operation, confirmed that the girl was rescued from the suspect who was with a gun, phones, money and other items.
Explaining her ordeal, Favour said she met the suspect barely a week and he invited her to the hotel where he resides and made love overtures at her.
“I got to the hotel to meet him only for him to accuse me of cheating on him, that while I was away for an exam I travelled a few days ego I went to meet another man. He locked me in the hotel room. And later in the company of his friend, one Efe, used a gun to threaten me that I would not go anywhere, they stripped me off my clothes, filmed me with their phones and molested me. He told me that he was a gun trafficker and that he had been to prison and the government knows him” she said.
Favour also disclosed that she cried and screamed all through the night while they threatened to kill her until she was rescued by the vigilante members.
The suspect, Mr. Christopher Abraham, a native of Ndoro in Ekeremor local government area, claimed that the victim was his girlfriend whom he took good care of, but discovered that she cheated on him with other men, and that was why he invited her and they had an argument and he went physical with her out of anger.
He also claimed that the gun belonged to his friend whom he identified as Efe, now at large.
Chairman of the vigilante service, Hon. Doubiye Alagba, said the suspect confessed that he and his accomplice are members of the bobos cult group.
“The suspect is a known drug dealer and these are some of the persons causing unrest in the state. Let me also use this medium to warn hotel owners who harbour criminals as guests in their hotels to desist or face the wroth of the law,” he said.
