A 30-year-old man, Habibu Muhammed, has been arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Jigawa for allegedly defiling a 5-year-old girl.

This was made known in a statement released by the command’s Spokesperson, Adamu Shehu.

Shehu explained that the case was reported at the Yankwashi Divisional office by the victim’s father who accused the suspect of luring his five-year-old daughter to his (suspect) house and raping her.

The statement read, “Upon interrogation, the suspect confessed that on Friday, 18th September 2020, at about 1530hrs, he invited the young girl into his house with the intention of sending her on an errand and later on changed his mind to take advantage of her.”

“According to the victim's mother, it was when her daughter was complaining of pain in her private area that she decided to have a look at the place, and then questioned the girl on how she sustains bruises at the area. The little girl started crying saying the person would kill her if she mentioned his name.”

The spokesperson added that a medical report obtained from the Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) at the General Hospital, Dutse, shows penetration and bruises in the victim's private area.

He also added that the suspect will be charged to the court of competent jurisdiction after a discreet investigation has been completed.
