A 17-year-old girl simply identified as Faith was arrested by police in Port Harcourt for refusing a man sex.
Trouble started when the man identified as James called in the police in Rumuokwuta Obio’Akpor, local government area of Rivers State, alleging that he gave the girl money several times but she refused to yield to his demands.
But Faith denied the allegations saying that: “James came to arrest me in my shop today. I have being cleaning his nails and each time he comes to my shop, I will clean his nails and he will tell me to keep the change.
“He gave me money sometimes and he never told me the reason why he was giving me these money, until when he finally told me to follow him to a hotel one day, but I refused. I told him I couldn’t go to a hotel with him because he is a married man. Since then he had been telling me to sleep with him, but I refused.
“He then decided to bring policemen to my shop today to arrest me. They took me to the station and asked me to write a statement on how it happened and I wrote everything down.”
Commenting on the matter, Rivers State police spokesperson Grace Koko said the State Police Commissioner released the girl to her parents after listening to both parties, adding that Mr James was warned to stay away from the young lady.
It was gathered that the girl’s parents declined to press charges against Mr. James for harassing their daughter.
