Wonder shall never end as a forty year old man, Shaibu Sani of U/Rimi in Kaduna metropolis, Northwest of the country is now charting with men of the State Police Command for defiling a 7-year old girl (name withheld).
The suspect allegedly committed the act in an uncompleted building in Dambusha, in the neighbouring Chikun Local Government Area on June 8 2019.
The suspect who is a labourer, was hired to work on peoples’ farms and allegedly lured the girl to the uncompleted building, where he held her for over 20 minutes to perpetrate the act.
It was further gathered that the incident started when Shaibu entrapped the victim in an uncompleted building near her house where he seized the opportunity to pin her down and then defiled her.
Speaking with newsmen on the incident, father of the victim, Abubakar Suleiman said when he came back from work at about 11am on that day, someone called him that there was trouble outside involving his daughter.
“I immediately ran out and saw my daughter crying, saying Baba! Baba!!! with blood coming out of her private part. I carried her and asked what happened? She told me that it was a man on a black cloth that did this to her.
Narrating the ordeal further, Suleiman added that concern community members immediately combed the area, and as God will have it, they saw a man on black cloth coming out from the said uncompleted building.
“We confronted him, and initially he denied, but later confessed and blamed the Devil for the act. We then took him to the U/Rimi Divisional Police station where he was arrested, while my daughter was taken to the hospital for medical attention.
“As you can see now she cannot walk properly without the help of someone. This is very sad,” Suleiman lamented.
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, (PPRO), Kaduna State Command, DSP Yakubu Sabo, said the suspect has been arrested and that both the man and the victim were taken to hospital for medical examination.
The case file, he said, has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for investigation and that very soon the suspect would be charged to court.
DSP Sabo advised law abiding citizens to be wary of people roaming their neighbourhood aimlessly, to avoid such incidents.
