RMD writes open letter to police commissioner; demands justice for 4-year-old rape victim

Nigerian popular actor Richard Mofe-Damijo, who is better known as RMD has written an open letter to the Federal Capital commissioner of police, CP Bala Ciroma.

RMD’s letter comes in the wake of a social media campaign demanding justice for a then four-year-old girl identified as Khloe. Khloe was allegedly raped by one one paedophile Idris Ebilome who is currently in Kuje Prison Abuja but ostensibly scheduled to be released tomorrow, Friday, 5th July 2019.

In his letter, published on his personal Instagram page, RMD referenced the rape, which he calls “not only the worst form of rape but one of the most heinous crimes anyone can commit.” He also notes that allegations were being made “that the police is frustrating efforts to get this innocent child the justice she so badly deserves.

RMD called on the Ciroma to use his office and dissipate some of the negative image of the police by a thorough investigation and presentation and presentation of the evidence to the court. And in the process “to get KHLOE the justice she deserves.”

Read the letter below:

“AN OPEN LETTER TO FCT CP.

“Dear CP Bala Ciroma,

I am hearing rumours that nearly 3 years ago, in your jurisdiction, a full grown man Mr IDRIS EBILOMA allegedly raped a 4-year-old child. All rapes are evil, damaging and unforgivable but the rape of a child? That in itself is not only the worst form of rape but one of the most heinous crimes anyone can commit but more disheartening than the crime itself is the allegation that the police is frustrating efforts to get this innocent child the justice she so badly deserves.

With the increased spate of insecurity, abuse of personal freedom (especially by SARS) and now rape. The police cannot play ostrich and pretend to be unaware of the mood of the nation. What better time and what better way to prove that the police is indeed our friend by ensuring that the investigation and evidence(s) presented to the court are thorough and an ironclad case made against the offender.

!Sir, I have never met you but I hear that you’re a good man and I am going by that assumption which is why I am writing you this open letter, hoping that the power of social media will lead it to you and trusting that you will live up to your reputation and use your noble office to get KHLOE the justice she deserves, that way she grows up having great hopes in our law enforcement and judiciary.
Sir, CP Bala, we are rooting for you to write your name in gold in Nigeria’s history by being the one who made it happen.

Kind Regards,

Richard Mofe-Damijo.

It would be recalled that actress Tonto Dikeh was the first high profile celebrity to bring attention to the alleged violation of the child. The actress is organising a protest against the release of Ebilome from prison and has called on Nigerians to join in the effort.
