He said that the suspect committed the alleged offence in one of the structures at the Community Secondary School, Ugbaike in Igbo Eze LGA.
Amaraizu said: “Just as the scriptural saying goes that one’s sin shall find him out, the iniquity of the man has found him out.
“The 75 year-old man was nabbed over alleged defilement of 11-year-old.
“It was gathered that the incident took place in one of the structures at the Community Secondary School, Ugbaike.”
