Published on

A 30-Year-Old Man, Hussaini Salihu, has been nabbed by the police in Adamawa State for allegedly defiling a minor.


The Adamawa State Police Command said in a statement on Thursday evening that its operatives arrested the suspect on Wednesday, July 24, for sexually assaulting the 12-year-old girl, whose name could not be disclosed because she is a minor.


The statement, signed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, said the suspect lured the victim into his house, had carnal knowledge of her, and then gave her N2,000.


The statement said the suspect ran away when he sensed that he would not be allowed to get away with his act.


“He was later trailed and apprehended by the police following a report from the victim’s mother,” the statement said.


It added that the suspect had voluntarily made a statement confessing to doing what he was accused of, and he will be charged in court.
