Godwin, along with three other individuals who are currently at large, reportedly abducted the girl and subjected her to repeated acts of rape daily for more than a week before her eventual rescue.

The Rivers State Police Command’s spokesperson, Superintendent of Police (SP) Grace Iringe-Koko, informed journalists in Port Harcourt on Friday that Godwin is currently in police custody.

According to SP Iringe-Koko, officers apprehended the suspect during a routine patrol in the Casablanca area of the Government Residential Area (GRA) in Port Harcourt.

“Godwin was arrested while in the company of the minor along GRA Phase 2 during a routine patrol by operatives of C4I Strike Force,” SP Iringe-Koko stated. “During questioning, the suspect confessed to abducting the minor and detaining her in a room.”

The police spokesperson further revealed, “Godwin further admitted that three other individuals also joined him to engage in unlawful acts with the minor for over a week.”

SP Iringe-Koko noted that the command has initiated a comprehensive investigation into the crime. Officers have been deployed to locate and apprehend Godwin’s accomplices so that they can be brought before the court to face prosecution.
