A serving Lieutenant Colonel with the Nigerian Army, W.L. Nzidee, has
been dragged to a Magistrate Court I over alleged sexual assault on a
16-year-old girl (name withheld) in Kaduna. The accused is in charge of
the MTO at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA).
In an application for issuance of a direct criminal complaint summons
filed at the Magistrate Court in the Kaduna Magisterial District in
Barnawa, Kaduna South with case number KMD/19DC/2012 by the complainant,
she accused the Colonel of committing an offence that constituted
“criminal intimidation, rape, acts of gross indecency, abductions and
threat to
life” contrary to section 397,282,285,272 and 327 of the penal
code
According to the complainant, on October 22, 2012, the accused person
called her with the pretext to send her on an errand and unfortunately
for her the lieutenant colonel had an ulterior motive for inviting her
into his house.
She said the accused then lured her into the house and forced himself
on her with a threat to kill her if she makes any noise and all effort
by her to resist proved abortive because the accused is stronger than
her.
She stated further that the accused forcefully had canal knowledge
with her without her consent and dis-virgin her leaving her physically
and mentally traumatized.
The victim said, she stayed indoor for about 48 hours and could not
disclose to her guardian, until when the pains and injuries in her
virginal became severe and later rushed to the NDA Medical Centre where
the doctor on duty, Dr Okochi, insisted on seeing the officer who
committed the assault after which she was admitted for one week.
