The police in Anambra have arrested a 51-year-old man, Unegbu Chika, for allegedly defiling his 14-year-old house help.
The suspect who is an indigene of Isuofia in the Aguata Local Government area in the state was apprehended after a whistleblower reported him to the state Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare.
