A 53-year-old Anti-rape activist, Irvin Summers, has been arrested by the Namibian Authorities for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl at his Narraville home.

Summers who is said to be a childhood friend of the victim’s parents is a well-known anti-rape activist in the Narraville community.

According to reports, he was arrested on Sunday, 29 August, 2022 after he allegedly attempted to lure the same girl to his house for s*x in exchange for N$500, an amount equivalent to ₦12,000.

Reports indicated that, Summers told the girl after he raped her not to tell anyone of what he did, considering the fact that he’s known for standing up for the residents of Narraville.

He reportedly said it would tarnish his name in the community, if the victim exposes him.

The anti-rape crusader first appeared before, Magistrate John Sindano, of Walvis Bay Magistrate’s Court yesterday.

However, he was remanded in custody as state prosecutor, Mr. Annakleta Kandjimi, opposed his bail application.

Magistrate Sindano, therefore, adjourned the case to 11 October, 2022, for further investigation.

“I hope government and some useless people with titles can now start work for the money they earn . . . [sic].”
