Satan made me rape 17-yr-old girl – Mr. Prince, alleged rapist
Except those directly affected, the ordinary person may not fully appreciate this sordid story. If you were not there to listen to the story of 17-year old lady, Ijeoma (not her real name), you may not equally believe the story you are about to read.
Mr. Stanley Orum alias Mr. Prince is a married, middle-aged man. Orum claimed he deals on telephone handsets and its accessories in Owerri. He is old enough to be the father of little Ijeoma. Mr. Prince is very close to Ijeoma’s family and they have known each other for a couple of years.
The harmless, brilliant and hapless young girl used to call him uncle. Ijeoma, due to dint of hard work, got admission to study Mechanical Engineering at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, FUTO.
It was a happy development and the family was still savouring the good tiding when Prince put the spanner into the works. How he hatched the plan to devour the little girl remained his guarded secret. Not even his wife knew about the plan and it never showed on his face. All the same, he carefully crafted and carried out the plot.

The story is best told by the girl, who spoke exclusively to CRIME GUARD amidst intermittent sobs, when her assailant was paraded by the police in Owerri.”
The man I previously regarded as an uncle messed me up on July 16, 2011. I was on my way to school when Mr. Prince saw me and pretended that he was going my way and offered me a lift. He actually dropped me in school. After my lecture, I again saw him and he offered to take me home but ended up taking me to a strange village”, the lady said.Continuing, she said:
“When I started protesting and crying when he changed the route back to Owerri, Mr. Prince slapped me, brought out a pen knife and threatened to kill me if I created a scene along the road.
He ended up taking me to an uncompleted building in a strange village”. Answering another question, the girl said, “He made a few calls before we left the uncompleted building for another house. He forced me into the house. He slapped me again as I cried and begged him to let me go.
He ordered me to undress and had his way. I was bleeding profusely. The bed was covered with blood. He only gave me tissue paper to pad myself. He thereafter drove back to Owerri and carelessly dropped me at Edede Street, warning that he would kill me if I told anybody about the incident.
Two kind- hearted boys picked me up from here and took me to a hospital and the doctor used my telephone and called my mother.”
CRIME GUARD gathered that it was the doctor that eventually called the girl’s mother, using the little girl’s mobile phone. Mr. Prince drove home and into the warm embrace of his wife, believing that he had a beautiful outing.
He was wrong as the matter was promptly reported to the police and he was nabbed. When confronted with the girl’s story, Mr. Prince, who affirmed that he is married, also confirmed the incident but blamed Satan for his action, promising that if given a reprieve, he would not repeat the act.
