The Katsina State Police Command has arrested a-40-year-old Abdullahi Bara’u for raping his two-year-old niece.
A statement released by ASP Abubakar Aliyu, the command’s Public Relations Officer, Bara’u’s capture was instigated by reports of his alleged sexual exploitation of underage children, particularly in Riko village.
The statement read: “the command has succeeded in arresting one Abdullahi Bara’u,’m’, aged 40 years old, of Riko village via Jibia LGA, Katsina State, a suspected notorious paedophile in connection with a case of suspected rape of his two (2)-year-old niece and step-daughter.
“Nemesis caught up with the suspect when a report on his criminal activities was received through the representatives of the International Human Rights Advocacy and Awareness Centre on the suspected rape of his niece.
“The fact of the case is that on April 3rd, 2024, at about 1200 hrs, the mother of the victim left the victim and her elder sister at home under the care of the suspect.
“The suspect took advantage of the situation and deceitfully sent the elder sister on a bogus errand while he lured and had unlawful knowledge of the victim.”
