Okoroafor, who was said to be a final year student of the school and Commander of Man O War security organization in the university was arrested on Friday by a local security outfit in collaboration with a human right group known as Onurube Gender-based Coalition (OGBC) operating in Nekede council area of Owerri-west and handed the suspect over to the Nekede Police Division.
The Convener of the group, Marjorie Ezihe, who spoke to journalists on Saturday said the suspect had been severally accused of taking advantage of his unsuspecting female victims and forcefully having carnal knowledge of them.
