Man Posing as Madman Arrested for Allegedly Raping Two Schoolgirls in Abakaliki
A man pretending to be mentally unstable has been arrested in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, after he allegedly raped two primary school girls during school hours at the Ebonyi State University (EBSU) Staff Secondary School.
According to reports, the suspect had been seen around the school premises for weeks, but no action was taken to remove him. An insider revealed that after the incident, the school principal shockingly claimed there was nothing he could do since the perpetrator was “a madman,” a response that has sparked public anger.

“The suspect has been staying around the school for some time, and the authorities ignored it. Now two innocent girls are left with trauma because security failed them,” the source lamented, urging the Ebonyi State Government to close the school temporarily and strengthen its security system, including installing a proper entry-control point.
A video obtained on Friday shows the suspect being restrained by residents before being handed over to the police. During questioning, he confessed to raping two students but could not recall when the assaults took place.
Police authorities are expected to begin a full investigation into the incident.
