A 94-year-old man was detained by the Adamawa Police Command for allegedly defiling a 13-year-old girl in the Tappare ward of the Ganye Local Government. This was confirmed by the command’s spokesperson, SP Suleiman Nguroje, in a statement given to media on Wednesday in Yola.
He claimed that the suspect, a herbalist, was known to trick young girls into giving him access to their bodies for s£x acts.
It so happens that on August 12, while the victim was walking past the suspect’s home, he beckoned her inside and exploited her by having an illicit sexual relationship with her.
Investigation has thus far shown that the suspect applied a mixture on the victim in the form of perfume while carrying out the act, which caused the victim to become ill as a result.
When her mother questioned her, “it was because of the illness that she opened up to her about what happened,” he claimed.
Nguroye claims that the victim’s mother informed Ganye Divisional Police Headquarters about the event.
He said that Mr. Afolabi Babatola, the police commissioner, had directed the officer in charge of the command’s Family Support Unit to thoroughly investigate and prosecute the suspect.
The commissioner asked the general public, in particular parents, to watch out for criminal activity in their children. Additionally, he requested that locals report instances of gender-based. Quickly.
