A 24-year-old graduate of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (name withheld) has alleged that a suspect already in police custody robbed and raped her at gunpoint at a hotel in Awka, the Anambra State capital, on July 11, 2023.
The victim also identified her phone among the phones recovered from the suspect when she came to lodge a complaint at the Force Headquarters in Awka on Tuesday.
The suspect, who gave his name as Akuchieani Echezona, a male resident of Ifite Awka, was disarmed and arrested at a popular hotel in Awka on July 20 by a team of surveillance operatives from the Anambra State Police Command.
He was subsequently taken into custody at the State Criminal Investigation Department, where he has been making confessional statements.
