A 32-year-old man, Mr. Terkura Iorpuu, was on Thursday arraigned before a
chief magistrate’s court in Makurdi, the Benue state capital, for raping and
infecting two young girls with HIV.
According to PUNCH Metro, the two victims, aged eight and six, were the
daughters of his lover, Mrs. Mson Tor. Both the rapist and the mother of the
two minors had been HIV positive for over a year and had been using anti-retroviral drugs.
It was learnt that the bubble burst after the kids started walking in an
unusual manner and were subsequently taken to Hemko Hospital, Makurdi for
medical examination. After the test, it was discovered that the girls had been
defiled through “forceful penetration”. Medical examination also showed that
the two sisters were HIV positive. The victims, when interviewed, revealed that
it was their mother’s boyfriend that raped them.
The magistrate, Lilian Tsumba, adjourned till December 4 for further
mentioning and ordered that the accused be remanded in prison
