Police Corporal, Chinedu Nwachukwu, who allegedly r*ped a female student of Abia State Polytechnic, Aba, has been dismissed from the force and is expected to face trial.
According to Commissioner of Police, Abia State Police Command, CP Janet Agbede, his dismissal came on Tuesday, September 28, after an orderly room trial in Umuahia. He was found guilty of the r*pe allegation which he allegedly committed last week.
She said the administrative procedure which among other things includes the orderly room trial and subsequent dismissal prepares him for prosecution in court. Nwachukwu is expected to stand trial in a regular court for r*pe, extortion and other offences.
Recall that on Saturday, September 25, the suspect was arrested for allegedly r*ping a student of the State Polytechnic, in Aba which sparked protest by the students of the institution demanding an investigation into the matter.
