Man Arrested For Raping Five Year-Old
The Niger State Police Command has arrested a 20 – year – old man, Abdullateef Ibrahim, for raping a five- year – old girl.
Ibrahim confessed to the crime during investigation, pleading for forgiveness and confessing that he started raping children after his girlfriend left him.
He said, “Since my girlfriend left, I have been in the act and I enjoyed doing it, but at times I will ask myself ‘why am I into this mess and the urge still continues?’. It is quite unfortunate that I found myself in this hopeless predicament.” He begged for forgiveness and advised other youths to shun “ the wicked act that may mar their future. ”
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar , said the victim had been taken to the General Hospital, Magama, for treatment. It was learnt that the victim was running an errand for her mother when Ibrahim dragged her to an isolated area in the bush and had sex with her.
It was gathered that the suspect had been involved in the heinous act for over two years before he was eventually arrested by police operatives. Ibrahim revealed that he had forcefully had carnal knowledge of more than six underage girls in the community. .
