Ebuka Anyasi, 23, and 19-year-old Michael Ikegbunam, were detained in an Onitsha prison for allegedly committing felony by having sex with two minors, Ifechukwu Okafor, 14, and Tagbo Chukwuma.
DAILY POST gathered that the act lasted for 7 days, while both victims were locked in confinement in Okoloji Street, Odoakpu in Onitsha area of the State.
