A middle aged man, Jacob Jume was yesterday
arraigned before a Makurdi Chief Magistrate Court
for allegedly raping his sick younger sister (names
withheld) who was on admission in a private
hospital in Gwer West Local Government Area of
the state.
Saturday Vanguard gathered that the 30-year old
patient who was receiving treatment at Tersoo
clinic in Naka, was allegedly raped by her brother
and staff of the clinic, after having injected her with
a substance suspected to be a sedative.
He was said to have taken advantage of his sick
sister few minutes after the nurses and doctor on
duty at the time had made their routine ward round
and gone on break.
At the hearing of the matter, the Police Prosecutor,
Inspector James Ingwe told the court that one
Julius Aondona had reported to the police in Naka,
Gwer West local government that the accused had
forcefully taken advantage of his sister in a hospital.
”One Julius Aondona had few days ago reported to
the Police in Naka that the accused, who was a
staff of Tersoo clinic in Naka, had sexual
intercourse with his sister who was a patient at the
hospital after injecting her with a substance which
made her loose consciousness.”
At the hearing, no plea was taken for want of
jurisdiction; but in her ruling the presiding Chief
Magistrate, Mrs. Thereza Wergba ordered that the
accused be remanded at the Makurdi prison.
She also adjourned the case to the 9th. of January
2014 for further mention and commencement of the
trial.
