A serving Lieutenant Colonel with the Nigerian Army, W.L.
Nzidee, has been dragged to a Magistrate Court I over alleged sexual
assault on a 16-year-old girl (name withheld) in Kaduna. The accused is
in charge of the MTO at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA).
In
an application for issuance of a direct criminal complaint summons
filed at the Magistrate Court in the Kaduna Magisterial District in
Barnawa, Kaduna South with case number KMD/19DC/2012 by the complainant,
she accused the Colonel of committing an offence that constituted
“criminal intimidation, rape, acts of gross indecency, abductions and
threat to life” contrary to section 397,282,285,272 and 327 of the penal
code
According to the complainant, on October 22, 2012, the
accused person called her with the pretext to send her on an errand and
unfortunately for her the lieutenant colonel had an ulterior motive for
inviting her into his
house.
She said the accused then lured her
into the house and forced himself on her with a threat to kill her if
she makes any noise and all effort by her to resist proved abortive
because the accused is stronger than her.
She stated further that
the accused forcefully had canal knowledge with her without her consent
and dis-virgin her leaving her physically and mentally traumatized.
The
victim said, she stayed indoor for about 48 hours and could not
disclose to her guardian, until when the pains and injuries in her
virginal became severe and later rushed to the NDA Medical Centre where
the doctor on duty, Dr Okochi, insisted on seeing the officer who
committed the assault after which she was admitted for one week.
