A middle-aged man, Ndubuisi Utom, in Amaechara Agbo village, Afikpo in Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, was at the weekend, arrested for having carnal knowledge of his master’s three daughters.
Utom, a domestic staff of one Chukwuemeka Aja, allegedly inserted his fingers into the private parts of the victims, who are between ages of five and eight, causing them severe pains.
A source close to the family told Vanguard that the screaming of the victims, attracted their mother, who was cooking in the kitchen when the incident occurred.

Reacting to the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, George Okafor, warned parents and guardians to be mindful of their children’s movements and who they associated with.
