Two persons, Yahaya Umar and Muhammed Auwal, have been arrested by the police in Kaduna for allegedly raping a six-year old girl.
The spokesperson of the police command, Abubakar Zubairu, a deputy superintendent, told journalists in Kaduna on Monday that Umar, 67, and Auwal, 30, were arrested on June 13 following a complaint by the parents of the girl.
He said Mr. Auwal, who was the parent’s neighbour, was also arrested after medical personnel confirmed an earlier alleged rape on the minor.
He said Mr. Auwal was involved in an earlier rape allegation with the same girl, adding that “additional information from a medical doctor also indicated that she was earlier raped before that time and was disvirgined”.
Mr. Zubairu said the suspects would soon appear in court.
The mother of the victim told newsmen that the incident occurred on Monday, June 13, around 1p.m. at Soba Street, Tudun Wada Area in Kaduna.
“After my six years old daughter returned from school, I sent her to buy detergent for me, but she didn’t return early as expected.
“And I was worried and one boy came to my house to inform me that my daughter has been raped,’’ she said.
According to her, a woman who was passing-by caught the old man in the act in an uncompleted building within the area and she called for help which resulted in his arrest.
