HIV+ Man R*pes Lover’s Two Daughters

A 32-year-old mason, Terkula Iorpuur, of Behind Hemko
Hospital, Kanshio, was on Thursday remanded in prison by a Makurdi Magistrates’
Court for allegedly r*ping two sisters.

Mr. Iorpuur is charged with r*pe punishable under Section
284 of the Penal Code.

The prosecutor, Insp Terzungwe Kajo, told the court that the
uncle of the victims reported the matter at ‘B’ Division Police Station,
Makurdi, on Oct. 6.

Mr. Kajo said the victims’ mother complained that the two
children, aged eight and six years respectively, were not walking properly.

“They took the girls to the hospital for treatment and the
doctor discovered that someone forcefully had s*x with them.

“When questioned, the victims revealed that the accused, who
was their mother’s lover, had s*x with them.’’

Mr. Kajo stated that the medical examination further
revealed that the accused was HIV positive and had been on drugs.

However, for lack of jurisdiction, no plea was taken when
the case came up for mention.

The prosecutor said investigation into the matter was
ongoing and asked the court for another date for mention.

The Magistrate adjourned the matter till Dec. 4 for further
mention.
