A Nollywood costume designer, identified as C Prince, has been arrested for sexually defiling a 10-year-old girl on a movie set in Asaba, Delta state capital.
The horrific incident took place on Sunday, January 28, at the hotel where he and his fellow crew members camped for a movie shoot.
He reportedly took the minor into a hotel room to change her outfit for the next scene. However, he took longer than usual, prompting the movie producer to send someone to check on them.
Regrettably, the girl was found crying profusely with bloodstains all over the floor. Apparently, C Prince had forced himself on her after asking her to strip for a costume change.
In a video making rounds online, C Prince can be seen being interrogated and stripped naked by furious eyewitnesses. The hotel room was also covered in the victim’s blood.
It was gathered that the rapist was thereafter handed over to men of the Delta State Police command for prosecution.
