In addition to landing Peter Ugan in a police cell at the Mabushi Division of the FCT Police Command, an apparently uncontrollable sexual urge that led to the assault of a teenager with sickle cell disease, Ngozi (last name withheld), also resulted in the discovery of his positive HIV status.
On Monday, January 6, detectives from Mabushi Division arrested 34-year-old Ugan from Ogoja, Cross River State, after he nearly got lynched by a crowd.
He had deflowered the girl after luring her into a room. It was discovered that Ugan ripped into the victim so severely during the rape that she began to bleed continuously.
Evidently conscious of the seriousness of his behaviour, Ugan proceeded to buy the girl some drugs that no doctor had prescribed and confined Ngozi in the room to prevent her from leaving to expose him.
His goal was to halt the bleeding and alleviate the girl’s agonising suffering.
According to the information acquired, Ngozi was visiting Abuja to register at the Government Day Secondary School, Mabushi, to finish her secondary school education while she was staying with her aunt in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
According to reports, Ugan asked her out during her first week here, but she began to shun him because she was still a young girl.
According to reports, Ugan visited his friend Isaac’s room on January 6, 2025. Isaac resides in one of the unfinished buildings in a compound whose owner is frequently late.
The suspect reportedly resided far from the compound, but anytime he ran out of kerosene or other ingredients, he would go to his friend’s house to cook.
When he gets trapped, the pal used to do the same thing at Ugan’s place.
On this fateful day, Ngozi, who shares a huge compound with Ugan’s friend and her parents, was returning the plate her sister had used to purchase food from Meshai when he noticed her walking by and beckoned her to ask her to assist him buy sachet water.
Respecting an older person, the 17-year-old girl went to get money to buy the water, but she ended up with more than she had asked for.
When Ugan noticed that the house was silent, he allegedly pulled the girl inside, shoved her to the ground, and had sex with her.
Blood began to flow from her intimate area by the time he removed his organ. According to information obtained, Ugan locked Ngozi inside, walked outside, and came back with some prescription drugs for her to ingest.

When he noticed that the blood was still streaming continuously, he also began washing her legs. He then gave her permission to go.
When she returned home, her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Aroh, became upset at learning of her daughter’s condition. According to reports, Ugan was on the verge of running away when the mob caught up with him and severely battered him.
The Mabushi Divisional Police Officer in charge was promptly instructed by CP Olatunji Disu to visit the scene of the suspect’s rescue and subsequent apprehension.
While the girl was still heavily bleeding, her mother also took her to the police station.
The girl was taken to Maitama General Hospital’s emergency room after reportedly collapsing and fainting twice.
It was discovered that a doctor from Nyanya Hospital had been called in to operate on her in order to halt the bleeding when it became too much for the staff to manage that evening.
It was also learnt that in order for Ngozi to stabilise, two pints of blood had to be transfused.
The investigating police officer took the subject to the hospital for testing, as is customary. Ugan’s test results revealed that he tested positive for HIV, which shocked everyone.
The girl’s mother experienced another emotional collapse as a result of that.
According to Ugan’s brother, who talked to the police, he had advised the suspect to be tested after noticing his gaunt appearance prior to the incident.
Ugan admitted to the police during questioning that he was unaware of his HIV status because he had not received any testing for six months before.
However, Ugan claimed that Ngozi was his girlfriend in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, where he revealed that he was employed as a front desk officer at a restaurant.
He said: “She (Ngozi) was my girlfriend. I approached her for dating and she accepted. I started the relationship with her over two weeks before the incident. On January 6, I went to my friend’s house to cook and she came to visit me when she saw me. My friend lives in the same premises with her parents.
“She ate with me and we were playing. While we were together, I asked her if we could make love and she said yes. It was between 11 am and 12 noon. I brought out my condom and had s3x with her. That was when I discovered that she was a virgin, and she started bleeding.”
