NAPTIP Arrests 29-Year-Old Woman For Beating Her 7-Year-Old

The operatives of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) have arrested a 29-year-old woman, Jamila Abubakar, for allegedly beating her seven-year-old stepson, Muhammed Bashir, to death in Kano.

Speaking on the incident, NAPTIP Kano Zonal Commander, Shehu Sani said the suspect was arrested on Thursday following trusted information.

He added that the agency had once invited the suspect over alleged child abuse of the deceased some two months ago and was made to sign an undertaking not to repeat the act.

Umar said, “Upon receiving information, operatives of NAPTIP swung into action and arrested the suspect.

“Previously, we received information that the suspect locked up her 7-year-old stepson in a room without food anytime the suspect as well as the husband set for the daily business.

“The suspect was invited and the victim was rescued by our team as a result. The victim was accommodated in NAPTIP shelter for one week for medication and was later reunited with his father.

“The parent wrote an undertaking that the victim would not be locked up again and promised to go along with him when set for business to avoid any eventuality.”

Umar, however, noted that the case has been transferred to Kano Police Command for discrete investigation and prosecution.
