A serving Lieutenant Colonel with the Nigerian Army, W.L. Nzidee, has
been dragged to a Magistrate Court 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.
